Dear Sir, I have previously made a written objection to the proposed Riverside Energy Park. I wish to add some further background detail to this evidence'

1) The statement included reference to children who already have increased health needs locally, which could be aggravated by a 2nd incinerator. I enclose some actual parental evidence of the existing amount of pollution, dated 29/7/19. From Michelle > Tue 30/07/2019 10:54

Hi Jenni

We met at the crossness nature reserve yesterday. I really hope this can be of help.

Kind regards Michelle

My son is years old. He has severe In one month between and this year he was straight to resus, the second time we nearly lost him.

is hereditary, my husband father had as a child. didn’t prevent him from leading a normal life. He was mild, yet our son who inherited his They were both born and raised in this area, just a generation apart.

I have been taking regularly at home. On the 2019 he was 99% when we were at home, it was a perfectly clear day with sunshine so that would be quite normal (he’s triggered by weather especially humid or damp). We went to the crossness nature reserve. We spent a couple of hours there looking at butterflies and enjoying the greenery. I took his levels again and he was 95%. He was very well in himself, yet his were that of those when there is intense humidity, just by being in a closer radius of the CORY site. When we got home I took his again and he was back to 99%.

Aside from this example there have been numerous occasions when we go down towards Norman road and will tell me ‘put the air on’ or ‘it’s bad air mum’. The air being breathed in the proximity of the power station is of terrible quality and it is quite obvious that it will deteriorate more with a second station. This terrifies me as a parent, this is our local area and I’m feeling we will be unable to access beautiful parts of it like the crossness nature reserve.

2) On the Cory Belvedere site visit day, I stated, in contrast to the employee's comments, that the Ford plant opposite the site, on the north of the Thames, was now much reduced in operation. Perhaps Ford have retained ownership of the docking areas but much has been sold off; see below -

Work on 2,650 new homes at former Ford Dagenham site gets underway

Demolition work has got underway on the site of the historic Ford Stamping Plant in Dagenham for a new 2,650 home development.

The 42-acre was acquired by Dagenham Dock Ltd, which is a joint venture between St Congar Land and real estate fund manager Europa Capital Partners, in early 2016 after the famous Ford Dagenham plant was shuttered in 2013.

Plans for the mixed-use development include schemes to commemorate the industrial importance of the site, drawing on its 90 year heritage as a major car manufacturing plant, and integrating with the neighbouring 3,000-home development.

Outlining the vision for the site, Leader of Barking and Dagenham Council, Cllr Darren Rodwell said: “The Stamping Plant was a huge employer for generations, so we’re delighted that this new development will put into production thousands of new homes and jobs and hopefully a museum dedicated to the East London’s rich industrial heritage too.

“It’s fitting that this derelict site, which once epitomised post industrial decline, will now stand for the borough’s future as home for all, for the aspirational and inspirational without leaving anyone behind.” Steve Taylor, director at St Congar, added: “The former Dagenham Ford Stamping Plant is a fantastic site, located within one of the most exciting growth opportunity areas in London.

“The site’s demolition has now commenced, and we are delighted to be working with the council to create thousands of much needed new homes in the London Borough of Barking & Dagenham.”
