All change at the London legacy development corporation

The London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) was established in 2012 as a Mayoral Development Corporation that oversaw the long term planning, development, management and maintenance of the Olympic Park and its impact on the surrounding area after the London 2012 Games. During this time it acted as the local planning authority, producing a local plan and determining many planning applications. Some 12 years later, this is about to change.

  • Planning and Development

The LLDC’s Planning Policy & Decisions Team (PPDT) will stop functioning as the local planning authority for the LLDC area on 30th November 2024. As such, from 1st December 2024 its town-planning functions will transfer to the four neighbouring boroughs of Newham, Hackney, Tower Hamlets and Waltham Forest. This means that from 1st December all planning applications that fall within the LLDC boundary will be determined by the respective borough in which the site is located. The LLDC will maintain its status as a Development Corporation and functional body of the GLA, but with a reduced role focused on inclusive economy projects, development and Park operations and venue management, on a non-planning related basis only. It will also cover a reduced area comprising the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park only.
