Minutes:
Received a report
outlining the Council’s preliminary response to the Mayor of
London’s draft consultation document ‘Safeguarding of
Wharves on the River Thames’. The
response is aimed at providing a sustainable balance between the
Council’s aspirations of quality riverfront development and
the protection of wildlife habitats, river activities and
employment uses, while at the same time safeguarding those wharves
with a viable working future.
Agreed: in order to assist the
Council in achieving its Community Priorities of “Raising General Pride in the Borough” and
“Regenerating the Local Economy” that
the following response be made to the Greater London Authority:
- The Safeguarding
of the Wellbeck, Pinns, Kierbeck, Debden and Ripple Way Wharves are
deferred, subject to a review following confirmation of the route
of the Docklands Light Rail;
- There are no
objections to the safeguarding of De Pass, Victoria Stone, Dockland
and RMC Roadstone Wharves subject to a review following the
publication of the London Rivers Action Groups ‘Creekmouth to
Castle Green Area Study’, the Barking Reach Masterplan and
the review of the Unitary Development Plan;
- That appropriate
conditions should be applied, with regard to landscaping, noise,
flood defence, access and water quality following consultation with
the Councils’ appropriate officers;
- Consideration
should be given, to the safeguarding of the Jetty and wharf
associated with the adjacent Rugby Cement site, to support the
predicted growth in green industry operation in connection with the
Dagenham Dock Industrial Park; and
- There are no
objections to the removal of F McNeil & Co. Alexander
Construction, Maple, Bowen, New Free Trade and Dockland
Construction Wharves from the consultation document.
