109 for commercial work and has a dedicated plating shop and carpentry shop in addition to the facilities listed earlier. The site’s condition is fairly rundown as the site owners are unwilling to invest in new facilities and are happy to continue just deriving a rental income from the sites they own. Comments (2007) The site is subject to a major redevelopment proposal and masterplanning exercise in the Gravesham Borough Council Canal Basin/North East Gravesend SPD, November 2005 . The consultation information is found at: http://www.gravesham.gov.uk/media/pdf/h/3/Final%20Questionnaire.pdf The brief proposes high density mixed use development on the waterfront up-river <strong>of</strong> Dentons, the retention <strong>of</strong> Dentons Slipway and the development <strong>of</strong> medium density residential – led mixed use development between Dentons Slipway and Denton Wharf (PAL). The form <strong>of</strong> operations at Dentons slipway with open-air working means that there will be significant impacts on the form <strong>of</strong> work allowed, hours <strong>of</strong> operations and type <strong>of</strong> work that will ultimately be allowed on site. The residential proposals could lead to the loss <strong>of</strong> the boat repair facility as it is a B2 general industrial use. The PLA has objected to Gravesham’s draft proposals (see Record Sheet 51). <strong>Assessment</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Boatyard</strong> <strong>Facilities</strong> on the River Thames Adams Hendry Consulting Ltd - April 2007
