asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether the Olympic Delivery Authority will observe all the Grampian conditions (Section 106 commitments) originally imposed on the development of the Olympic site by the London Borough of Newham and other London boroughs.[HL7351]

The Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) is committed to the timely delivery of the Olympic Games venues and infrastructure as part of the wider strategy to regenerate Stratford and the Lower Lea Valley. The planning permissions granted by the London Borough of Newham and other boroughs in 2004 in time for the successful Olympic bid were based on assumptions at the time of the bid. The master plan has since been revised and new planning permissions are therefore required. New planning applications will therefore be submitted in early 2007 and any new permissions will be made subject to the conditions and obligations appropriate for their implementation.

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether the Olympic Delivery Authority has made an assessment of the cost of observing all the Grampian conditions (Section 106 commitments) originally imposed on the development of the Olympic site by the London Borough of Newham and other London boroughs; and, if so, whether these estimates have been included in the publicly projected costs of the 2012 Games.[HL7352]

The master plan has been revised and new planning permissions are required. New applications will be established when those conditions are known and featured accordingly in the estimates of costs which we expect to be produced within the next three to six months.
