The revamped design for the 2012 media centre has been approved by the Olympic planning committee

Last month, Allies and Morrison, which had been replaced as lead architect on part of the scheme by RPS Burks Green, was brought back after a Cabe report dubbed plans “extremely weak”.

Changes made since then include more colourful cladding for the main press centre (pictured) and “chequerboard” cladding for the international broadcast centre.

A decision on the application was due two weeks ago but was pushed back to allow the planning committee to take in responses to the design changes. Sources said the approval was not unanimous, with at least two members of the committee voting against the plans.
