In the context of the Silvertown Tunnel scheme this applies to the hours between 6:00 and 10:00 in the northbound direction. Assessed Case Scenario adopted for assessment of likely effects of the proposed scheme, in the context of central forecasts of transport conditions and with user charges set so as to balance the Scheme’s traffic, environmental, socio-economic and financial objectives. Blackwall Tunnel An existing road tunnel underneath the River Thames in east London, linking the London Borough of Tower Hamlets with the Royal Borough of Greenwich, comprising two bores each with two lanes of traffic. Carbon ‘Carbon’ is used as short hand to refer to the basket of six greenhouse gases (GHGs) recognised by the Kyoto Protocol. GHGs are converted to carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e) based on their global warming potential per unit as compared to one unit of CO2. Development This is a statutory order which provides consent for the project Consent Order and means that a range of other consents, such as planning permission and listed building consent, will not be required. A DCO can also include provisions authorising the compulsory acquisition of land or of interests in or rights over land which is the subject of an application. http://infrastructure.planninginspectorate.gov.uk/help/glossary- of-terms/ Excess Wait Time The time waited in excess of the average scheduled wait time e.g. when waiting for a bus service. Host Boroughs The Royal Borough of Greenwich, and the London Boroughs of Newham and Tower Hamlets where the existing Blackwall Tunnel and proposed Silvertown Tunnel are situated.
