Comments (2007) This site has one <strong>of</strong> the few purpose built graving docks on the River Thames. It is drained by means <strong>of</strong> a 36” pipe that passes through the gardens <strong>of</strong> the adjoining houses to discharge into the Molesey Lock weir stream. The dry dock has not been used since before the last study. The site has been sold for development. A planning application has been submitted to LB Richmond for a restaurant, residential development and retention <strong>of</strong> the dry dock. <strong>Assessment</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Boatyard</strong> <strong>Facilities</strong> on the River Thames Adams Hendry Consulting Ltd - April 2007 49

The complaints have been about noise and vehicles bringing deliveries to a landing stage for transfer by boat to the site. This culminated in a barrier being erected (for which Mr Allen has a key) so that delivery vehicles have to ring ahead so that he can meet them at the barrier. Relationship to adjoining land uses/other boatyard facilities: There are no other buildings on the island apart from a house occupied by the members <strong>of</strong> the Allen family. Barfield Marine and Hampton Ferry <strong>Boatyard</strong> are a few hundred metres upstream. Access arrangements (capacity, proximity to major roads): There is no vehicular access to the site and it is only possible to reach it by boat or by foot (across Molesey Lock). Mr Allen has to pay the Environment Agency for the <strong>Assessment</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Boatyard</strong> <strong>Facilities</strong> on the River Thames Adams Hendry Consulting Ltd - April 2007
