Planning and envir<strong>on</strong>mental health issues:<br />
Mr Woods has suffered from persistent complaints from some <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> residents in <strong>the</strong><br />
new housing developed opposite <strong>the</strong> site. This has been to such an extent that Mr<br />
Woods has had to modify some <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> his activities such as ceasing shot blasting.<br />
Relati<strong>on</strong>ship to adjoining land uses/o<strong>the</strong>r boatyard facilities:<br />
The site is located adjacent to Isleworth Ait, an undeveloped island which is operated<br />
as a local nature reserve by <strong>the</strong> L<strong>on</strong>d<strong>on</strong> Wildlife Trust. Opposite <strong>the</strong> site, modern<br />
housing and <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>fices have been developed. Downstream <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> site, <strong>the</strong> nearest<br />
boatyard facilities are Brentford Dock Marina, SPL Marine and MSO Marine<br />
C<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong>. Upstream <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> site are o<strong>the</strong>r vessels moored and operated by Colliers<br />
Launches, Trident Marine and Peter Murfit as well as a small residential houseboat<br />
site located <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> bankside operated by Thistleworth Marine.<br />
Access arrangements (capacity, proximity to major roads):<br />
There is no vehicular access to <strong>the</strong> site which is floating, making access possible <strong>on</strong>ly<br />
by boat (or by foot at low tide). The nearest road is Li<strong>on</strong> Wharf Road ( a dead end)<br />
