Context
Planning and environmental health issues:
The operators were not aware <strong>of</strong> any noise complaints regarding activities at the site.
At present much <strong>of</strong> the land around the site is undeveloped. The site is also on the
landing path <strong>of</strong> London City Airport which means that no building higher than 2
storeys can be erected on the site.
Relationship to adjoining land uses/other boatyard facilities:
Much <strong>of</strong> the land around the site is undeveloped although a new <strong>of</strong>fice building has
recently been developed opposite the site. There is also a commercial factory unit
nearby. Further to the South, Barratt are developing high rise riverside apartment,
whilst to the west, there is a temporary watersports and jet ski centre, housed in
portacabins.
