103 Access arrangements (capacity, proximity to major roads): The site is reached via the old dock gate road that currently still has a security checkpoint. This road joins Woolwich Manor Way (a local distributor route) that leads up to the A13. Comments (2000) The site is currently being developed with a chandlery and other facilities. The operators would also like to build a slipway as a suitable site exists for such a facility. Comments (2007) There is a large amount <strong>of</strong> information about this site that is relevant to this study. 1 We have met with Eric Miller who runs Gallions Point Marina and his comments are set out in Appendix 5. 2 Newham Council has adopted the Royal Albert Basin Development Framework Plan Supplementary Planning Guidance. The guidance proposes residential development on Royal Albert Island that takes part <strong>of</strong> the existing Gallions Point Marina site. This residential development is located close to the existing boatyards workshop. In addition there are a number <strong>of</strong> other proposals including a slipway and 8,600 square metres <strong>of</strong> marine employment floorspace on a former PLA marine repair site that is now used by Newham College. 3 Jackie Lindre <strong>of</strong> the LDA has advised that it is unlikely that it will be possible to implement the marine employment proposals due to the difficulty in relocating Newham College. Jim Lewis <strong>of</strong> the East London Learning and Skills Council (LSC) has advised that the construction skills training at Gallions Point is undertaken by John Laing Training on a franchise basis and that this is not the preferred method <strong>of</strong> training provision. Newham College is investing in new construction training facilities in Barking. 4 Sean Collins has advised that NQEA the builders <strong>of</strong> some <strong>of</strong> the Thames Clippers has looked at this site with a view to providing up to date boat maintenance facilities. <strong>Assessment</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Boatyard</strong> <strong>Facilities</strong> on the River Thames Adams Hendry Consulting Ltd - April 2007
104 <strong>Boatyard</strong> Record Sheet <strong>Boatyard</strong> number: 39 (49) Premises Trading Name: Barking and Ilford Navigation Co Telephone no: Address : Hewetts Quay Barking Essex Postcode: IG11 7BT Operator: Tenant: Freeholder: The Hewett Estate <strong>Facilities</strong> Site has been redeveloped for housing since 2000 Comments (2000) The site and neighbouring industrial estate are owned by the Hewett Estate (a major local landowner). It is understood that the current site operator may not have a lease on the site and the viability <strong>of</strong> the boatyard business is questionable. A large amount <strong>of</strong> boat repairs at the site are reported to be on a DIY basis by boat owners. As no other operators have expressed an interest in continuing the boatyard operation, the Council are likely to grant permission for the site to be redeveloped for residential use in line with their strategies for regenerating Barking Creek. Comments (2007) Site has been redeveloped for residential use. <strong>Assessment</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Boatyard</strong> <strong>Facilities</strong> on the River Thames Adams Hendry Consulting Ltd - April 2007
