Olympic Park 2012

With the introduction of ‘Localism’ there may be further changes to the governance of this Olympic Park site. After games time it could be that a ‘Mayoral Development Corporation’ would become responsible for the rates and development permissions in the area. The UK’s professional planning institution the RTPI was focusing on the park recently with an event in Stratford and one of the presentations suggested this may well happen. Dawn Hawthorn from the GLA talked about the next steps and the changes in terms of planning processes if this was to happen.

I have borrowed this image from the RTPI’s own London Calling blog.  Quite an interesting site in itself, to keep an eye on for changes and challenges about development and related social issues in London.
