Olympic Park Receives Formal Planning Permission

Formal planning permission has been granted for the Olympic Delivery Authority to construct the venues for the London 2012 Games.The ODA submitted two planning applications totalling 10,000 pages in February 2007 setting out plans for new sporting venues, infrastructure and open space within the Olympic Park in Stratford, east London.

The decision recognises the substantial long-term benefits that the Games will deliver to the local area, including the creation of an open, accessible Park with new networks of bridges, footpaths and cycleways.

Chief Executive of the ODA David Higgins, said: ’Receiving planning permission is a huge step forward. The recognition of the regeneration value of our plans gives us continued momentum as we continue work to create a world-class Olympic Park for Games and legacy.

‘With planning permission for the Olympic Park secured, we will continue consultation on detailed planning applications for individual venues and on the legacy master plan, so there will continue to be opportunities for people to comment on the plans for the future Olympic and legacy Park.’
