1. Much of the £3.7bn figure is generated from the wharves and piers outside the greater london boundary: the estuary docks, tilbury and beyond.

2. With opening bridges there would be absolutely minimal impact on the port traffic anyway. The running costs of the bridges would be sufficiently small in comparison to the value of the traffic.

3. the combined revenue and economic generation annually from the creation of 100,000 homes and 200,000 jobs is certain to be greater than the minimal economic losses to the economy from reduced traffic on the greater london stretch of the thames.

Number of jobs accessible within 30 min

... adding a river crossing to Thamesmead creates accessibility within 30 mins to approx. 10,000 more jobs for people living in the highlighted area. Housing capacity: 47,000 housing units 15 at Thamesmead alone.

* As per SRQ matrix in SHLAA 2013, housing density assumes highest density for an urban setting based on PTAL (170 u/ha and 260 u/ha for PTAL 2-3 and 4-6 respectively)

Opportunity areas Vacant and agricultural land (FALP 2015) (source: Urban Atlas 2010, Landsat 2011) In Thamesmead, 47,000 housing units could be developed within a 2km radius of a proposed bridge – this is one year of housing supply currently required for London’s growth.* 16 Land value uplifts: +10%

Millennium Bridge Gateshead Millennium Infinity Bridge Garden Bridge London Bridge Stockton-on-Tees London Newcastle upon Tyne Opened June 2000 Opened May 2009 Not constructed Pedestrians Pedestrians/Cyclists Opened September 2001 Transport for London forecast Property price growth Pedestrians/Cyclists Property price growth for projects property prices uplift (above market trend) (above market trend) above market trend Property price growth (above market trend) + 9 - 10% + 10% + 2 - 4.5% + 5 - 34%

A conservative estimate suggests a 10% land value uplift above market trend for properties located within 10 and 15 minutes walking distance from a pedestrian bridge – bridges that include public transport connections will likely have higher land value uplifts. 17 Adding to the local economy

If 7,000 commuters pass the bridge each day, they’ll spend an estimated £7 million per year in shops, bakeries, food stores, and pubs within the bridge’s area of influence. This translates into 188 jobs and £3.5 million value added to the local economy. We are looking at 3 different areas of the Thames 18 and 6 specimen crossing locations...
