About the London 2012 panel

CABE reviews proposals for new buildings and spaces associated with the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, and considers their legacy.

The London 2012 panel advises the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) and the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games (LOCOG) on the quality, sustainability and legacy of London 2012 proposals.  Panel members are drawn from England’s architectural, built environment and creative communities and the panel is chaired by Paul Finch.

The panel provides independent design advice on major projects in the 500-acre park to ensure that they:

• are well-designed for use during the Games
• will provide a lasting legacy of high-quality, inclusive and sustainable buildings and public spaces.

Our reviews include the main stadium, velodrome and aquatic centre, as well as the Olympic, Paralympic and legacy transformation masterplans.

The design review process for London 2012 follows our existing procedures - read Design review for more information on how we evaluate schemes. If a scheme is the subject of a planning application, our review comments will be published on our website. All other reviews are confidential.
