Permission given for London 2012 swimming center

The Olympic Delivery Authority needed local government permission to build the venue on the north of the Olympic Park on what was the site of a sports center demolished after its closed in 2001.

Wheelchair tennis will also take place at the venue, which will become a hockey and tennis center after the London Games.

It will include two competition hockey pitches, four indoor and six outdoor tennis courts and five-a-side football pitches. Mountain bike trails from the adjacent VeloPark will also extend on to Eton Manor.
