    MODERN HERITAGE DISCOVER MORE 1 A NEW FUTURE WELCOME TO LONDON DOCK... Time has seen Wapping take on different roles but always with the same enduring spirit. It has constantly evolved and London Dock represents another proud chapter in its long and illustrious history. This new development is set against a landscape of world famous destinations and landmarks, in one of the most exciting cities in the world. Designed for 21st century living, this is where your adventure begins. London Dock, discover more. 2 LONDON DOCK DISCOVER MORE 3 Computer generated image. Indicative only 4 LONDON DOCK DISCOVER MORE 5 A PLACE OF CHARACTER AND HISTORY 1 2 ALONGSIDE THE BANKS OF THE RIVER THAMES, COLOURED BY THOUSANDS OF YEARS OF HISTORY, WAPPING HAS ALWAYS BEEN A HUB OF COMMERCE AND LIFE. By the late 18th Century, Wapping made London one of the busiest ports in the world. The building of The London Docks transformed a small riverside village into one of the liveliest districts in the Capital. Wapping was a gateway to the British Empire, a commercial centre and a mix of cultural influences. Celebrated figures made their home here, like explorer and captain of the Endeavour, James Cook. A resident of Wapping in the 1750s, he later became the first European to master the east coast of Australia. Wapping was also home to artists and writers. Charles Dickens drew inspiration from the area during visits to his godfather in nearby Limehouse. Much of what he saw of life in the docks and at the riverside became famous scenes in his books like Oliver Twist and Great Expectations.

The end of the harbour 4. The Revitalisation 4.1. Development of a new quarter 4.2. New Infrastructure 5. The result 6. Criticism 7. Sources 1. Introduction Docklands is the semi-official name for an area in east London. It is composed of parts of the boroughs of Southwark, Tower Hamlets, Newham and Greenwich. Docklands is named after docks of the London port which had been in this area for centuries. Between 1960 and 1980, all of London's docks were closed, because of the invention of the container system of cargo transportation. For this system the docks were too small. Consequently London had a big area of derelict land which should be used on new way. The solution was to build up a new quarter with flats, offices and shopping malls. Map with 4 the parts of London Docklands and surrounding boroughs (Source: Wikipedia.org) 2. The beginning of Docklands 2.1. London’s first port Within the Roman Empire which stretched from northern Africa to Scotland and from Spain to Turkey, Londinium (London) became an important centre of communication, administration and redistribution. The most goods and people that came to Britain passed through Londinium. Soon this harbour became the busiest place of whole Londinium. On the river a harbour developed were the ships from the west countries and ships from overseas met. 2.2. The medieval port From 1398 the mayor of London was responsible for conserving the river Thames.

The assessment considers the effect of the Proposed Development in the context of heritage legislation and policy on a number of designated heritage assets, all of which are less than 500m from the boundary of the Site. These designated heritage assets have been identified as those which could be potentially affected, in terms of their ‘significance’ as defined in the NPPF, as a result of development on the Site. It should be read in conjunction with the Built Heritage Assessment (“BHA”), which assesses the effect of the Proposed Development on the setting of heritage assets in the wider area, and the Townscape and visual impact assessment (“TVIA”), both within the Environmental Statement Volume II (ref NQ.PA.08 Vol. 2), also prepared by Peter Stewart Consultancy. A section of the grade I listed Dock wall runs below ground through the Site. This aspect of the project is assessed in detail in the Archaeological Desk Based Assessment accompanying the outline planning application and LBC (ref. NQ.PA.26/ NQ.LBC.07) and the Outline Sequence of Works for Banana Wall Listed Building Consent report (ref.

  • Echelon Data Centres – LCY10 Nos 1, 2 and 4 Greenwich View Place, London E14 9NN Heat Rejection Using Dock Cooling – Technical Note 4Th December 2020 Rev 02
    Echelon Data Centres – LCY10 Nos 1, 2 and 4 Greenwich View Place, London E14 9NN Heat Rejection using Dock Cooling – Technical Note 4th December 2020 Rev 02 1.0 Introduction Echelon Data Centres (Echelon DC) are developing the buildings at Nos 1, 2 and 4 (known as GV1, GV2 and GV4) Greenwich View Place to become a single data centre. Previously the buildings were 3 separate units, but through planning approvals received in 2012 and 2016, they have now become a single building now termed LCY-10. Previously HDR|Hurley Palmer Flatt produced a paper on the “External Energy Options” that were available to the project at LCY-10 including the use of dock cooling for heat rejection in tandem in a resilient format with the Barkantine Energy System (similar to Option 6). This Technical Note considers the reality of being able to reject heat into the nearby Outer Millwall Dock and any implications to being able to provide the capacity required to support the overall 17MW of IT load capacity within LCY-10. 2.0 Background The LCY-10 buildings are built adjacent to the Outer Millwall Dock located in the Isle of Dogs Peninsula in East London. Figure 1 shows the location, Figure 2 shows the key side with GV3 building protruding over the top of the dock itself approx. 1m above the water level. The dock is considered a closed water body, the slipway to the Thames opposite Surrey Quays is completely close and has the West Ferry Road running over it. To the North via the Glengall Bridge, there is the Millwall Inner Dock which then connects by canal connection to the South Dock; although the South Dock can be opened to the Thames, all of the docks are effectively closed.

Two separate applications are being submitted for the works. The applications will seek permission for: • Application NQ.1: Outline Planning Application (all matters reserved) (“OPA”) - Application for the mixed-use redevelopment of the Site comprising demolition of existing buildings and structures and the erection of buildings comprising business floorspace, hotel/serviced apartments, residential, co- living, student housing, retail, community and leisure and sui generis uses with associated infrastructure, parking and servicing space, public realm, highways and access works; and • Application NQ.2: Listed Building Consent (“LBCA”) - Application to stabilise listed quay wall and any associated/necessary remedial works as well as demolition of the false quay in connection with Application NQ.1. The study site lies within the Isle of Dogs Tier 3 Lea Valley Archaeological Priority Area associated with palaeoenvironmental evidence for past wetland and riverine environments and potential for prehistoric remains. It was also an extensive area of historic industry and trade in the 19th and 20th centuries. A Grade I Listed heritage asset (‘Banana’ Dock Wall) survives buried within the site. The proposed development has been designed to preserve in situ the remains of the Grade I Listed Banana Wall. Consequently, there will be no adverse impact to this designated heritage asset from the proposed development.
