The Olympic Park Legacy Company (OPLC) has said that it has submitted plans that will "shape the future of East London" as part of the Legacy Communities Scheme (LCS).

Five new neighbourhoods are set to be developed over a 20-year period across 64 hectares (158 acres) of the Olympic Park site, which have been detailed in a 5,000-page application.

Chobham Manor; East Wick; Sweetwater; Marshgate Wharf; and Pudding Mill Lane have been confirmed as the names for the districts, which will offer a wide range of facilities.

Community spaces will be offered in each of the five neighbourhoods, while a 14,500sq m (156,077sq ft) hotel will be built in Marshgate Wharf to the south-east of the park.

Due to open in phases from 2013, the new districts will sit alongside the sporting venues; cultural attractions; and parklands that will form part of the post-Games Olympic Park.

Planning applications for the remainder of the park, including the areas around the venues and the north and south parklands, will be lodged at a later date, according to the OPLC.

OPLC chief executive Andrew Altman said: "This planning application represents a significant moment in making the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park a reality.

"These five neighbourhoods will stitch together the surrounding communities of a formerly isolated area through new homes, schools, shops, parks, infrastructure and jobs."
