Existing planning permission for the Stratford City development specifies that a minimum of 2% of energy requirements of the development be provided from locally resourced renewable energy. This is a long way short of the commitment in Towards a One Planet Olympics for an 'Athletes' Village capable of being energy self-sufficient'. As part of the Athletes' Village will now be sited within the Stratford City development, will the ODA seek new planning permission, specifying the Athletes' Village as a Zero-Energy Development? If not, how will the ODA ensure that the Athletes' Village is "energy self -sufficient"?

Thank you very much. One is still a little bit worried. I do not think I have had a proper answer, but my concerns are really about the legal responsibilities that local authorities ' the educational authorities ' may have. One presumes that in a critical incident, children may be removed to a separate, secure place from their parents. Now, this raises the question about legal and practical care to ensure that the children are well-cared for in the short- and medium-term.
