Context
The site is adjacent to the Three Pigeons pub that was damaged by fire and acquired
by a property developer. Mr. Ellis has vacated the premises. LB Richmond has
required the reconstruction <strong>of</strong> the boat house as part <strong>of</strong> a planning application
assessed in 2003.

It is likely that the ground floor boathouse will be used for boat storage rather than a
working boatyard.
Relationship to adjoining land uses/other boatyard facilities:
Next door to the site is the Richmond Canoe Club and the renovated pub –converted
to a restaurant on the ground floor.
Access arrangements (capacity, proximity to major roads):
There is no public vehicular access but it is possible to reach the site by vehicle along
the towpath.
