Architecture studio Populous has been given the green light to build a 90-metre-high spherical music venue near the Olympic Park in east London for the organisation that runs New York's Madison Square Garden (MSG).
The London Legacy Development Corporation's planning committee voted six to four in favour of the proposal, despite 852 objections submitted in opposition to the project.
The venue will have a capacity of 21,500 with 17,566 seated.
