Authority finally sets its sites on competition venues

09 February 2007

Details of the venues and infrastructure for the London 2012 Olympic Games have been formally submitted to the Olympic Delivery Authority’s planning decisions team.
The 15-volume, 10,000-page document is believed to be one of the biggest planning applications in European history, and includes plans for new sporting venues, highways, bridges, river works, utilities, parks, open space, and their post-games legacy use. The applications cover a land area of 2.5km2 and sets the vision for one of the largest urban parks to be built in Europe for 150 years.
David Higgins, chief executive of the ODA, said: ‘We are “locking-in legacy” at a very early stage – five-and-a-half years before the games begin – and we now move from the planning phase to the next stage of the Olympic Park project, what we are calling “Making the park 3D – demolition, dig and design”.
‘The games are the catalyst for social, environmental and physical regeneration of east London – the Lower Lea Valley - and the sheer size and scope of the application reflects both the scale of the challenge as well as the enormous opportunity hosting the games will bring to this area.’
