There is very little DIY use <strong>of</strong> the facilities Planning and environmental health issues An application for retrospective planning permission is to be made for the reconstruction <strong>of</strong> the three grids on the former SPL site. Stardale Ltd. had drawn up proposals for a seven storey block <strong>of</strong> flats on the site above a retained boatyard and a number <strong>of</strong> storeys <strong>of</strong> car parking. These proposals are not being pursued currently. Relationship to adjoining land uses Brentford Dock on the south side <strong>of</strong> the boatyard has been redeveloped for residential use. These neighbours are generally supportive <strong>of</strong> the boatyard activities. Access arrangements Road access is via Dock Road that is a private road forming part <strong>of</strong> the Brentford Dock development. It is only possible to bring in small boats into Dock Road up to 5 tons that are launched with the crane barge. Comments (2007) This is one <strong>of</strong> only three boatbuilding yards in Greater London. The firm has acquired a lease <strong>of</strong> the former SPL site form British Waterways. The firm has also acquired a lease <strong>of</strong> the disused dry dock on Johnson’s Island from British Waterways and intends to bring it back into use. Stardale has a long lease on the site that was obtained to pursue a scheme for residential flats on the site (such a use would be contrary to LB Hounslow planning policy). This is the largest <strong>of</strong> the three sites occupied by MSO and was previously used for tug and barge building and repairs by EC Jones, The buildings on Site 1 are in poor condition and MSO Marine services wants to upgrade them but as the lease from Stardale Ltd. expires in June 2007 it is not viable to do so. <strong>Assessment</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Boatyard</strong> <strong>Facilities</strong> on the River Thames Adams Hendry Consulting Ltd - April 2007
