They form a key part of the vision of how the Olympic Park in Stratford, East London, will develop over the next two decades.

 

The £9.3 billion Olympic project is also set to become the base of a new 1,000-pupil secondary school, with plans for a range of new facilities for sports in and around the Park to be left after the 2012 Games.

 

Educational sites also include three new primary schools and a sports academy in the £547 million Olympic Stadium, which will be downsized after the Games to a 25,000-capacity arena that will continue to host major athletics events.

 

A new arts academy and primary school have also been earmarked in the Olympic Village.

 

The determination of the Mayor Borish Johnson to create an Olympic university using the facilities built for the broadcast centre are also included in the plan, as well as a hub for creative and technology-based businesses.

 

The masterplan also envisages the creation of 10,000 new homes, in addition to up to 3,000 in the Olympic Village, and 10,000 jobs on top of those created by the Stratford City retail and business development.

 

Other sporting venues, including the Aquatics Centre and Velodrome, will be retained for community and elite sporting use and for staging major events.

 

They will be complemented by a range of new facilities for sports in and around the Park, such as football, hockey, tennis and mountain biking.

 

The London Development Agency (LDA), which has been leading the legacy planning work, will consult on the plans, known as the Legacy Masterplan Framework over the next six weeks.

 

The consultation includes 22 events, which the public can attend, as well as the opportunity to comment online at www.legacynow.co.uk.

 

The plan sets out precise plans for the regeneration of the area around Stratford and Hackney Wick following criticisms from Johnson last year that planning for the Games legacy, one of the central planks of the London Olympic bid, had been badly neglected and was behind schedule.

 

Johnson said: “One of my main concerns was always the lack of a clear vision for the legacy that would be left for East London from the huge investment we were making in staging the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

 

“Now I believe that the future for this most deprived area is spectacularly bright. “

 

The plan, which has been produced by the London Development Agency in co-operation with the five Host Olympic Boroughs and is subject to consultation, is intended to form the basis for an overarching planning application for the regeneration schemes.

 

The Mayor’s advisers hope a wide-ranging planning application will lessen the risk for developers and encourage private sector funding of the legacy projects.

 

Though they acknowledge that the recession has brought private sector investment to a halt, they stress that the plan covers a 30-year development period after 2012.

 

The plan sets out the vision of new communities surrounded by parklands and reclaimed waterways.

 

It includes plans to house the National Skills Academy for Sports in the Stadium as well as a centre for English Institute of Sport.

 

The Stadium will host athletic events but retain the potential to stage other sports and leisure events, such as concerts.

 

Last week Tessa Jowell, Olympics minister, and Johnson announced the formation of a legacy delivery company to manage the Olympic Park.

 

She said: "We pledged in Singapore [where London were awarded the Games in 2005] that the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games would deliver more than just six weeks of sport.

 

"We promised that it would transform London and leave a lasting legacy for the economy, culture, sport and tourism.

 

"The infrastructure of the area will change forever, with a sport, business and cultural park that I hope will act as a magnet for business and investment."

 

Communities Secretary Hazel Blears said: "The communities of East London really have been at the heart of producing this very extensive framework.

 

"We have seen real teamwork from residents, businesses, local councils and many other partners in making sure a legacy is created that will benefit people for years to come.

 

"From the very start we made sure the voices of local people living and working, in and around the Olympic Park were central to creating a plan that people were not only proud of but more importantly helped to create."

 

Sir Robin Wales, the Mayor of Newham, said: "We want this to be a place that provides opportunities for local people and becomes a real powerhouse for prosperity in the capital.

 

"These plans to transform the landscape will be accompanied by a Strategic Regeneration Framework which commits partners to work together not just to provide the new homes, parklands and infrastructure, but also to build successful new communities and once and for all close the gap in opportunities and prosperity between East London and the rest of the capital."

 

Tom Russell, the LDA's director of Olympic Legacy, said: "Today we are able to show people exactly how the 2012 Games will regenerate one of the most deprived areas in the country.

 

"The legacy plans for the Olympic Park site have been shaped by the communities that live around them and the consultation is their chance to refine that vision.

 

“It will be part of a wider economic, social and physical regeneration strategy which looks at the future development of the areas around the Olympic site.

 

"This will ensure that the regeneration benefits of the 2012 Games are felt across London.

 

"This is another milestone that has paved a bright future for a formerly neglected area.”
