Ed. note: the above is the full verbatim text of the Act.
At a Bromley Council Development Committee an 'undertaking' was approved which seems to effectively become an addendum to the 1990 Act above.
The details are set out in Appendix B.2 of a report to the Development Control Committee on 06.06.99* regarding application ref. 99/00155 for the details pursuant of the Ian Ritchie scheme.
*[Ed. The document/page containing the text is labelled "HHUD 9 March 1998 crh, page 30". This page is numbered, on one copy, (by hand) B.2.3; B.2.1 and B.2.2 are the Act of 1990 itself and B.2.4 is a plan, probably part of the Act itself, showing the Pink and Green land - see below). It is possible that the document was prepared on 9 March 1998 and only came before the Development Committee on 6 June 1999, being bundled with the Act itself for that meeting.]
The planning application referred to, ref. 99/00155, has the following information on the Bromley Planning website (as of 11/6/2011):

The dotted area, which contains the National Sports Centre (NSC) and adjoining land, is designated as a Major Developed Site (MDS)...
"this means that redevelopment in accordance with the criteria set out in PPG2 Annex C within the MDS is permitted provided the development does not have any greater impact on the MOL than the existing development and all other policy guidance is followed."
