Anish Kapoor’s proposal to build Britain’s tallest sculpture on the site of the 2012 Olympics has been backed by Newham Council.

The artist’s designs for a 114-metre high twisting steel tower includes a café and exhibition space providing views across the Olympic park and east London.

The planning application for the Orbit tower will now go to the Olympic Delivery Authority for final approval.
