associated features) be put together and submitted to the LPA together with a revised date for implementation. 5.26 Suggestions have been made for additional uses on Lots Ait. However, it is Officers’ opinion that the introduction <strong>of</strong> other uses and intensifying the use <strong>of</strong> Lots Ait would not be in the interest <strong>of</strong> the nature conservation value <strong>of</strong> the Ait or the inter tidal mud flats that surround it. It does seem now that the best solution would be for the fallback position to be implemented, that is, the restoration <strong>of</strong> the existing structures and its use for boat management and repair. The ecological management plan would also need to be agreed as part <strong>of</strong> any package <strong>of</strong> works/improvements to the Ait. 5.27 Given the breach <strong>of</strong> the obligation (with the first option time limited so that the alternative should have been carried out), Members are asked to comment on <strong>of</strong>ficers pursuing the implementation <strong>of</strong> the fallback position and requirement for an ecological management plan to be submitted for approval as set out in the preceding paragraph. “ Conclusion The Lots Ait dry docks <strong>of</strong>fer the opportunity to provide new covered dry docks on the River Thames. <strong>Assessment</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Boatyard</strong> <strong>Facilities</strong> on the River Thames Adams Hendry Consulting Ltd - April 2007 83

The next nearest boatyard facilities are located upstream at Brentford, namely MSO Marine Construction, SPL Marine and Brentford Dock Marina. Access arrangements (capacity, proximity to major roads): There is no vehicular access to the Grid. It is only possible to reach it by foot (along the towpath) or by boat. Comments (2007) Following the 2000 study the PLA leased the grid to Michael Woolf who spent about £12,000 on repairs but had only 3 – 4 users so returned the lease to the PLA. The reason for the lack <strong>of</strong> demand was that the grid was useful for inspections but has no facilities if repairs were needed. <strong>Assessment</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Boatyard</strong> <strong>Facilities</strong> on the River Thames Adams Hendry Consulting Ltd - April 2007
