Covid 19

Our planning service is still operating during the current health crisis. Though we will aim to determine your application as quickly as possible, there are likely to be times when ‘business as usual’ may not be possible, due to remote working, illness or employee caring responsibilities. We will let you know if there is likely to be a delay in your application being determined. We would appreciate it if you would please bear with us if that is the case. If you need to contact us, please email your case officer.

If you have any general planning enquiries please email [email protected] rather than phoning. This mail box is being monitored daily and we will respond as quickly as possible, but in the circumstances our response may take a little longer than usual.

The Legacy Corporation planning boundary

This means that any planning application made in that area, called the Legacy Corporation planning boundary, must be submitted to us rather than to the local borough.

All information on current and past planning applications is held on our Planning Register.

PPDT believe that the effectiveness and quality of our work is maximised by employing people from a range of backgrounds and experiences and making full use of their talents to promote excellent working relations.

We encourage all people and organisations that use our services to support this culture where everyone feels respected and is treated fairly.

Our planning role

We have the responsibility for looking after the development of buildings and outdoor spaces in and around Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

Making an application

If you are making a planning application relating to land within the Legacy Corporation Planning Area, this must be submitted to the Legacy Corporation, rather than to the local borough.

Pre-Application Advice Service

The Legacy Corporation encourages you to discuss your planning proposals with a member of our Planning Policy and Decisions Team (PPDT) before making an application. This is particularly important for large and more complex planning schemes.

Planning policy

We act as the planning authority for this area, including defining planning policy for development in the area. As part of this, we are currently conducting a Local Plan Review
