ROYAL DOCKS 2037 ECONOMIC VISION – INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT PLAN 3 DRAFT V4 - 25/02/2016 PURPOSE

The Greater London Authority, the London Borough of Newham and Transport for London have jointly commissioned an Economic Vision and supporting Infrastructure Investment Plan for the Royal Docks. The objective of the commission is to provide a holistic understanding of the infrastructure - in its widest sense - required to support the economic transformation of the Royal Docks, particularly focused on its five districts and including the Royal Docks Enterprise Zone. The Infrastructure Investment Plan is aimed at realising the benefits of the Enterprise Zone – a 125 hectare area of land, owned by the GLA, for which incremental business rates can be raised and then deployed to support and catalyse development. This Economic Vision highlights the opportunities and challenges for the Royal Docks, and their context within Newham, London, and the wider South East and illustrates a series of infrastructure projects and packages considered critical to realising their transformation into London’s next business district.

The programme of investment and change in the Royal Docks will evolve over the next twenty years. It is essential that the infrastructure projects in the first two phases are the most appropriate to support long term growth and that investments sit within a trajectory of development that can deliver the agreed objectives in the short, medium and long term.

These will deliver further regenerative benefits to the area and stimulate additional private sector investment. In the long term, projects will continue to (PHASE 1 - 2016-18) (PHASE 2 - 2019-2023) (PHASE 3 - 2024-37) come forward and evolve in line with the vision and objectives for the Royal Docks.

In addition to the scheduled programme of projects that form the IIP, there are critical dependencies with major projects, outside the scope of the IIP, which will also be important in delivering the objectives of the Vision. These include:

River Crossings - There is ongoing work to investigate further transport and connectivity improvements in the East and South East sub region to support and unlock growth, which may include future public transport networks on the Gallions Reach and Belvedere crossings, or highway improvements to the A13, which would support the growth and improve connectivity and capacity to the Royal Docks. There are no detailed costs for such interventions yet, and such strategic sub- regional interventions will be subject to further analysis and identifying options for funding.

A13 - The Transport for London Road Network (TLRN) A13 road corridor is the dominant arterial east-west road corridor in East London and is the third busiest corridor in London; up to 113,000 vehicles daily travel along the section through the Royal Docks. Forty per cent of London’s growth to 2030 is predicted to occur along the A13, illustrating its importance. This growth and planned new river crossings will place new pressures on the A13 and its road junctions in the near, medium and long-term. In addition to facilitating movement, this road corridor forms a barrier between growth developments and communities, restricting Royal Docks' cone of opportunity access onto and across the A13. TfL studies have pinpointed that a number of A13 Legend locations in the Royal Docks, principally junctions, already suffer from congestion and capacity issues, leading to user delays and growth will exacerbate these Priority infrastructure investment challenges.
