London Mayor Sadiq Khan has refused permission for the construction of the MSG Sphere, a proposed 21,500-capacity venue for music and entertainment.
The plans have been widely opposed, with Newham Council, AEG Europe - which runs the o2 Arena - and residents all against the scheme.
Announcing his decision to refuse, a spokesperson for Mr Khan said: London is open to investment from around the world and Sadiq wants to see more world-class, ambitious, innovative entertainment venues in our city. But as part of looking at the planning application for the MSG Sphere, the mayor has seen independent evidence that shows the current proposals would result in an unacceptable negative impact on local residents.
