Olympic Park 2012

The Olympic Development Authority (ODA) is no longer going to be tasked with the legacy of the area. The legacy work will involve working out details of planning applications, 6 spatial plans for the area, development of affordable homes and future use of the anticipated amenities (e.g. the an arts academy, the aquatics centre and more).

Regen.net says:
“The authority debated giving planning powers to the newly created Olympic legacy vehicle. But Russell said: “The boroughs are responding well to the single planning body.” The committee includes representatives from the London Boroughs of Greenwich, Hackney, Newham, Tower Hamlets and Waltham Forest.”

The Olympic Legacy tasks will also include a Cultural Olympiad (more on than later), and a lot of design work:

Design week says:
“Legacy has been a key part of the design briefs in the Olympic Park. Jason Bruges, who won the commission to create bridges and underpasses in the park along with Allies and Morrison and artist Martin Richman, talks of having to ‘design backwards’”

Here is a timeline for the work so far.
