Planning approval has been granted for the new White Water Canoe Centre in Broxbourne that will host Canoe and Kayak Slalom events during the London 2012 Games.
The planning application for the Centre was submitted in the summer following public consultation events with local residents on the venue plans. This application has now been approved by Broxbourne Borough Council.
The new facilities at Broxbourne, being built by the Olympic Delivery Authority, include a 300m course, warm-up course and finish lake.
The course will be part of a wider parkland area. Path and bridge networks throughout the venue will help spectators get close to the action. After the Games the venue will be a major sporting and leisure attraction.
The Centre building will also include a reception, café, changing rooms, shop, offices, spectator viewing area, equipment storage and water pump/filtration facilities.
