The Site was originally developed by the London Docklands Development Corporation and given to LB Southwark when the LDDC was dissolved. Consequently there is some uncertainty about whether the marina will remain in public sector ownership or be sold to a private operator. The current area <strong>of</strong> car parking and land storage is also zoned for housing development in the UDP which is also a threat to the marina’s future. Relationship to adjoining land uses/other boatyard facilities: The marina is surrounded by the associated housing development. Upstream <strong>of</strong> the lock gates there is a passenger boat pier and a riverside walk. Downstream, there is a fenced compound used for boat storage and car park. <strong>Assessment</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Boatyard</strong> <strong>Facilities</strong> on the River Thames Adams Hendry Consulting Ltd - April 2007
