The government's financial report on the Olympics also noted that agreements had been signed between the ODA and London and Continental Railways over the post-Games development of land within the Olympic Village site.
It said that following the decision to only build what is needed for the Games in the Olympic Village, there are a number of plots on the site available for future residential development. The new land agreements mean the ODA takes ownership of these further residential plots, allowing the existing and future development of the village site to be planned and managed as one.
The ODA will no longer participate in the potential future profit arrangements from the commercial development of land to the south of the Olympic Village. The ODA also announced today that work has been completed on time and on budget on the rowing and canoe sprint venue for Just a few miles from Windsor and Maidenhead whilst only 20 minutes from Heathrow Airport and West London, Dorney Lake is nestled within some of Berkshire's and Buckinghamshire's most beautiful countryside.
The venue is set within acres of scenic parkland including an Arboretum and Nature Conservation area. Fertilizer use in the former arable fields was restricted for many years before construction began, to ensure high-quality water and low ground-chemical content.
Some 4,, tonnes of sand and gravel, 1,, cubic metres of topsoil and subsoil and , cubic metres of basal clay were extracted during construction. Local disturbance was minimised by using a two-mile-long conveyor belt from a corner of the site to take material extracted to a remote collection point.
The lake water is fed from underground aquifers, percolating through a natural gravel filter, with weeds being discouraged by natural methods, including a particular breed of carp, and algae growth by using an underwater ultrasound system. Some open areas between the tree groups are left uncut in the summer to encourage wild flowers and wild life, which includes many bird species. Dorney Lake is a world-class sporting facility in a acre parkland site with 90 acres set to water and privately owned by Eton College but managed by Eton College Services Ltd.
The Venue offers the combination of a top sporting venue, its own in-house hospitality and events team, and leisure opportunities through community access. The main lake is a 2,metre rowing course which was extended in order to host the Olympic and Paralympic Games rowing and flat-water canoeing.
