I have concerns over enterprise being potentially stifled in the middle of one of the main cities of the world.
Having successfully seen the new Arsenal stadium be given clearance (reaping huge benefits to London), I look forward to seeing the Oval being allowed to develop their exciting plans.
Even the most exciting scheme in the world should be developed in consultation with local residents, all too often local residents are treated as though their views don't count.
