The ODA Planning Committee

The ODA Board has appointed a Planning Committee to ensure that decisions are made by the ODA in an open, transparent and impartial manner.

The Planning Committee will either make the decisions on the applications submitted to the ODA or delegate the decision to either the ODA Planning Decisions Team (PDT) officers or, in cases where the applications are not connected with the Games or legacy proposals, the relevant Boroughs (Hackney, Newham, Tower Hamlets and Waltham Forest) or the London Thames Gateway Development Corporation.

The Planning Committee comprises two ODA board members, four councillors recommended by the four boroughs directly affected by the Olympic Park and five independent members appointed following an external advertisement.
The Committee members are made up of the following:

ODA Board members
Local Authority members
Independent members

The Planning Committee is governed by a code of practice. Download the Code of Practice (PDF, 24KB).
