2012 Olympic's Plans "Most Complex" in History


This week The Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA), organisers of the 2012 London Olympics submitted, what is said by Lord Coe to be "one of the biggest and most complex" planning applications in UK history.

The substantial 15-volume application for the Olympic village and surroundings sets out what organises call a vision "for one of the largest urban parks to be built in Europe for 150 years."

The first stage of the application includes extensive work to waterways, including the construction of river and flood defence walls. It also includes the construction of highways and a continuous loop road surrounding the Olympic park.
.
Part two focuses on the construction of five permanent sporting venues and three other temporary venues, plans also affordable housing, and office space.

The application will be considered by a committee including representatives from all the London boroughs affected and a final decision is expected by late summer.
