The development comprises the demolition of the existing building to provide 17 residential units. The findings are as follows: • The re-development of the former commercial/car repair site to 17 residential units would have negligible impact on the locality in respect of parking, trip generation or any wider transport impacts. • The proposal is located in an area that enjoys significantly high public transport accessibility (6a) and is entirely suitable for car free development. • Servicing for the proposal is to be provided via the service stores accessed from Tabernacle Avenue. 1.2 Scope of Report 1.2.1 The report will be structured as follows: • Chapter 2 – Existing Conditions Transport Infrastructure and Site Conditions. This section describes the existing transport conditions in the local area and the access arrangements; • Chapter 3 – Proposed Development and Assessment of Site Activity. This outlines the proposed new development and assess the impact of the activity generated by the site during peak periods; • Chapter 4 – Conclusion and Recommendations. This section summarises our Conclusion and Recommendations based on the findings of the earlier sections in this report. 2 Existing Transport Infrastructure and Site Conditions 2.1 Introduction 2.1.1 The proposal site is situated at 301 Barking Road, the current site of an unoccupied commercial use (it was previously a Kwik-Fit car repair centre). It is bounded by Barking Road running North-East, the adjoining Red House public house fronting King Street to the west and Tabernacle Avenue on the eastern flank. Location Plans and a street map are provided at Appendix A. 2.1.2 A Ground Floor Plan of the proposals is provided at Appendix B. 2.2 Motor Vehicle Access and Parking The existing site has a lengthy dropped crossing for vehicular and refuse bin access and numerous parking spaces/service bays on site. Plans showing the site in the context of the local highway network are provided at Appendix A. 2.3 Bicycle Facilities and Cycling Routes 2.3.1 The site is located on and near to an excellent range of cycle routes from the Cycle Super Highway and marked routes to a number of quieter routes providing connections to a range of local amenities. There is an advisory westbound cycle lane marked intermittently along Barking Road. 2.3.2 The cycle routes are shown in relation to the site at Appendix C. PAGE 3 301 Barking Road - Transport Assessment 2.4 Pedestrian Access and Walking Routes 2.4.1 The condition of the existing pedestrian infrastructure within reasonable walking distance of the site is variable but, in most cases, good. The site is fronted by a Pelican crossing and all local road crossings are provided with the correct tactile paving for those with a visual impairment. Barking Road in particular has benefitted from a range of improvements in respect of the pedestrian environment and especially so in respect of the routes to and from the Canning Town Transport Hub at the western end of the road. This route also provides easy pedestrian access to a wide variety of local amenities. Typical views of the local public realm and highway are shown in the site pictures at Appendix D 2.5 Public Transport Services 2.5.1 The site has a public transport accessibility level of 4 which is good. Full details of the PTAL calculation and local public transport services are provided at Appendix E. The services available within the reasonable walk distances are detailed within the PTAL calculation, being routes 5, 69, 115, 241, 276, 300, 325, 330, 474, 541, N15 and N551. The bus service frequency varies between 4-9 buses per hour. Bus stops BH (Kings Road) and BD (Chargeable Lane) in Barking Road are around 40m and 115m respectively from the entrances to the development. 2.5.2 Canning Town Station and bus interchange is about 1175m from the site, where DLR and Jubilee Line services are available. Alternative train/tube/DLR stations are available at Plaistow, West Ham and Star Lane being between 1200 -2000m from the site. 2.6 Existing Traffic conditions 2.6.1 Barking Road (A124) is a distributor class road providing access to a number of local centres, important local amenities and employment uses. As such it has a typical tidal flow pattern (westbound AM and eastbound PM) with conventional peak hours (8am to 9am and 5pm to 6pm). 2.6.2 Site observation on a typical week-day revealed moderate traffic queues during these peaks at the nearby Canning Town Flyover roundabout and that these cleared relatively quickly. Occasionally, westbound queues on Barking Road extend for several hundred metres from the signal-controlled flyover junction. 2.6.3 Tabernacle Avenue has Controlled Parking Zone (CTN zone) waiting restrictions in place Monday to Friday 10am to 2pm, together with pay by phone parking bays maximum stay 1 hour, no return within 1 hour on the eastern side of the road. King Street has similar CPZ restrictions but beyond the entry point the bays are for permit holders only. Both roads have no waiting or loading “at any time” restrictions in place at their junctions with Barking Road. There is limited Blue Badge parking bay provision in both side roads. 2.6.5 On Barking Road itself the waiting restrictions are Monday to Saturday 7am to 7pm with short term free parking bays in various locations operating Monday to Friday 10am to 4pm. Bus lanes are present on Barking Road which operate Monday to Friday, 7am to 10am, 4pm to 7pm and Saturday 10am to 7pm. 3 Proposed development & trip generation 3.1 Introduction and Description of Development 3.1.1 This section outlines the development proposal and assesses the transport implications of the predicted activity at the site. The proposal is for 17 residential units, comprising: 5 x 1 bed flats, 9 x 2 bed flats, 3 x 3 bed flats across 5 storeys. All units have secure and covered cycle parking and access to refuse/recycling storage. PAGE 4 301 Barking Road - Transport Assessment 3.1.2 The residential entrance and 32 secure cycle parking spaces for residents are accessed from Tabernacle Avenue. Access to the refuse bin-store is provided from the rear of the site. Details are illustrated at Appendix B. 3.1.3 The proposed development is car free and this nature of the scheme is justified on the basis that it is located in an area of Good Public Transport Accessibility (Level 4, see Appendix D) and is located in very close proximity to a wide range of local amenities. The Active Newham map is also appended at Appendix F. It illustrates clearly the advantageous location of the site in respect of amenity, public transport and walking routes. 3.2 Pedestrian Access 3.2.1 Pedestrian access from Barking Road is at ground level and is easily identifiable. 3.3 Cycle Parking Provision 3.3.1 The site is well served by the existing cycle infrastructure surrounding the site. The London Plan requires secure and covered cycle parking comprising 1 cycle space per 1 bed unit and 2 cycle spaces per 2 bed unit and above. It will therefore be necessary to provide (5 x 1=5) + (12 x 2=24) = 29 plus 1/40 units for short stay (1 space) = total minimum 30 cycle parking spaces for the development, all on the ground floor of the building. The actual cycle parking provision of 32 cycle spaces, with 3 flats having their own secure parking lockers (3x2=6 spaces) and 26 cycle spaces being accommodated within a communal store, is shown on the ground floor layout plan at Appendix B. 3.4 Public Transport 3.4.1 No provisions are made by the development for improvements to public transport as they are not viable or necessary for a proposal of this modest size. It is proposed however that each of the residential units will be issued with a welcome pack on first occupation that gives details of public transport opportunities and other matters that relate to the site in terms of Travel Planning principles. 3.5 Trip Generation 3.5.1 It is unlikely that the trips generated by the proposed residential development would exceed those generated by the previous commercial use and is almost certainly a reduction in overall person and vehicle movements.

Neuware - Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Thames Ironworks Football Club, the club that would later become West Ham United, was founded by Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding Co. Ltd owner Arnold Hills and foreman Dave Taylor in 1895. Thames Ironworks took over the tenancy of The Old Castle Swis' Hermit Road ground in Canning Town until their eventual eviction in October 1896. They would briefly play at Browning Road in East Ham, before moving to the Memorial Grounds, a stadium which was situated close to where West Ham station now stands. The ground was built at Arnold Hills' own expense, costing Pds. 20,000. Thames Ironworks were West Ham Charity Cup winners in 1895-96 and London League runners up and champions in 1896-97 and 1897- 98. They were promoted to Southern League Division One in 1898-99 as Southern League Division Two Champions.

The move to Upton Park came about when, in 1904, Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company owner Arnold Hills was having financial issues. Hills was unwilling to re-negotiate a deal for the club to remain at Memorial Grounds, meaning the Hammers needed to find a new place to call home. Upton Park was settled upon, where the club would play its football from the 1904/05 season right up until 2016. The stadium, which was originally named The Castle, was built next to and in the grounds of Green Street House. The pitch was laid on an area that had previously been used to grow cabbages and potatoes. The stadium originally consisted of a small West Stand, a covered terrace backing on to Priory Road and changing rooms placed in the north- west corner between the West Stand and North Bank. West Ham’s first game at Upton Park came on Thursday, 1 September 1904, when they beat long-standing rivals 15 THE BOLEYN’S Farewell Millwall 3-0 in front of 10,000 fans.

  • Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company
    Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company Founded in 1837, The Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company was a shipyard and ironworks based in Blackwall and Bow Creek. It was the most important shipbuilding business on the Thames and one of the biggest private shipbuilders in the country. Thames Ironworks and Shiping bulding company The owner of Thames Ironworks, Arnold Hills (b.1857), was a philanthropist and businessman committed to his workforce adopting a healthy lifestyle: “… they had things like athletics clubs, tennis, cricket, rowing, cycling anything to do with sport, but they also had other things like brass band societies, choral societies, drama societies, and they even had a temperance society and a lot of these were started up around about 1895, most successful of them all was Thames Ironworks.” John (West Ham Historian) In 1895, Arnold Hills, and foreman Dave Taylor, found- ed Thames Ironworks Football Club at Hermit Road in Canning Town. A total of fifty workers from Thames Ironworks joined the newly founded club for half-a- crown membership per season. Alongside Hills’ backing, the membership would help finance the club in its infancy. In April 1897, Thames Ironworks found a temporary home at Browning Road in time for the club to compete in their first London League season. Arnold Hills Hills then purchased a large piece of land for £20,000, in Canning Town to construct the Memorial Grounds in honour of Queen Victoria. The Memorial Grounds took six months to build and was opened on 22 June 1897. “Memorial Grounds was a fantastic stadium, it had a bank cycle track and in the middle of that was a football pitch, and round it were stands.

  • Many Famous Football Clubs Can Trace Their Origins from Humble
    CHAPTER ONE ORIGINS Pre 1895 During the early to mid 1890s, there were already a large number of football clubs, mostly amateur, but some professional, in existence in and around the Canning Town and West Ham district of the East End of London. The most notable ranged from the successful Clapton club, the re-formed Upton Park, Park Grove, West Ham Garfield and Claremont Athletic to the north of the district, to St Luke’s, South West Ham, Old St Luke’s and Castle Swifts in the south. To the west of the area were the Commercial Athletic and Millwall Athletic clubs, with the latter playing their home games at East Ferry Road, Isle of Dogs and turning professional in 1893. When the Southern League was formed in 1894/95 Millwall won the title in the competition’s initial season. Further to the east were Barking Woodville, Barking and the Leyton club, which was to briefly embrace professionalism later in the decade, and Ilford who spent two seasons in the Southern League. At the end of 1895/96 Ilford quit the competition and lowered its sights after failing to gain a solitary point from 18 matches. Many other clubs with varying abilities came and went over this period and one such club that had a briefer life than most was Castle Swifts, a club that can be said to have had a considerable influence on the formation of Thames Ironworks FC. On the banks of the River Lea opposite the Thames Ironworks & Shipbuilding Company lay the ship repair yards of the Castle Shipping Line under the trading name of Donald Currie & Co.
