Plans have been unveiled for the Lee Valley VeloPark which will sit in the North of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park after next Summer's Games.
The Olympic Park Legacy Company will build a one mile road cycle circuit and around 8km of mountain bike trails around the existing Velodrome and BMX Track.
The road cycle circuit will cross the River Lea in two places and be framed in the south by wetlands and tow-paths for walkers and cyclists.
The plans will also create a new park for Hackney which can also host small scale events.
The plans have been agreed by British Cycling, Sport England and Lee Valley Regional Park Authority, who will own and operate the Lee Valley VeloPark after the Games, while closely consulting with users including Eastway cyclists.
The Planning Decisions Team at the Olympic Delivery Authority will undertake
a statutory consultation on the application between 14 December and 11 January. The plans can be viewed at http://www.london2012.com/planning/.
