Chas Newens are currently attempting to renew the lease <strong>of</strong> Ashlone Wharf at the end <strong>of</strong> the Embankment where they have workshop and storage facilities which is owned by the LB Wandsworth. LB Wandsworth want to dispose <strong>of</strong> the site as they say they cannot afford to repair the elderly buildings on the site, some <strong>of</strong> which are leased to the Sea Scouts on a peppercorn rent. Chas Newens have stated that the loss <strong>of</strong> these storage and workshop facilities would prejudice their ability to provide craft for many events including the University Boat Race as well as servicing the many craft used by the rowing clubs located along the Embankment. <strong>Assessment</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Boatyard</strong> <strong>Facilities</strong> on the River Thames Adams Hendry Consulting Ltd - April 2007 87
88 Relationship to adjoining land uses/other boatyard facilities: The shop and workshops on the Embankment are surrounded by a variety <strong>of</strong> uses. To the rear <strong>of</strong> the site is residential development, whilst there are commercial premises located over the shop and workshop. The site at Ashlone Wharf is located next to an area <strong>of</strong> Open Space. Access arrangements (capacity, proximity to major roads): Both sites operated by Chas Newens have direct access onto the Embankment. Comments (2000) Chas Newens provide a number <strong>of</strong> services including chandlery and engine repairs from their premises and have a large fleet <strong>of</strong> craft which are used for a wide variety <strong>of</strong> events and film work. Maintenance and repair <strong>of</strong> these craft and others in use by the many rowing clubs located along the Embankment is undertaken in the premises that they lease at Ashlone Wharf, at the end <strong>of</strong> the Embankment. Comments (2007) Chas Newens were in the process <strong>of</strong> negotiating with the Council (Wandsworth) to extend the lease and also expand the showroom and workshop areas into a separate building. They had stated that the negotiations had not been overly successful in terms <strong>of</strong> receiving flexibility from the Council in trying to expand what was a successful operation. In terms <strong>of</strong> planning issues related to their site, they had received no complaints or been impacted upon by other planning decisions. The operations had expanded slightly in terms <strong>of</strong> numbers <strong>of</strong> staff and also the procurement <strong>of</strong> 20 bankside moorings in Richmond. <strong>Assessment</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Boatyard</strong> <strong>Facilities</strong> on the River Thames Adams Hendry Consulting Ltd - April 2007
