PART THREE This necessarily complex deal offers integrated regeneration of the Greenwich Peninsula, but it remains for the parties to deliver the benefits

In this part of our report we assess whether the deal that English Partnerships have reached with the Consortium for the development of the Dome and the Greenwich Peninsula is a sensible one.

Our conclusions are:

■  the main assumptions underlying the projected future revenues, the practical constraints and commercial factors that influence the decision on whether or not the Dome should be retained for at least the next 15 years have all been clearly stated and taken into account; and

■  there are obligations and risks which English Partnerships will have to manage over the life of the deal to achieve maximum benefit for the taxpayer.
