Explanatory note

The London Legacy Development Corporation (Establishment) Order 2012 (S.I. 2012/310) established a Mayoral development corporation, the London Legacy Development Corporation (“LLDC”), in relation to an area, designated as a Mayoral development area, which encompassed the site of the Olympic Park and the surrounding area.

This Order removes land from the Mayoral development area of the LLDC. The revised Mayoral development area is shown bounded externally by the inner edge of a black line on the map referred to in article 3(3), of which prints signed by a Director in the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government have been deposited and are available for inspection at the offices of the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government and at the offices of the Greater London Authority.

The London Legacy Development Corporation (Planning Functions) Order 2012 (S.I. 2012/2167) (“the 2012 Planning Functions Order”) conferred certain planning functions from four constituent borough authorities (the London Boroughs of Hackney, Newham, Tower Hamlets and Waltham Forest) on the LLDC. This Order returns the planning functions and certain other associated functions to these authorities by revoking the 2012 Planning Functions Order.

The Schedule to this Order makes transitional provision in relation to functions conferred by the 2012 Planning Functions Order which will revert to the borough authorities.

A full impact assessment has not been prepared for this Order as there will be no significant impacts on business, local residents or the voluntary sector
