Gravesham’s response was detailed, and a copy of the submitted report (approved by the Executive) with a detailed response at section 4 and associated appendices, are attached as Appendices 2 and 3 respectively. 1.4 PINS issued the scoping opinion on 29 July 2020, which sets out the areas the applicant needs to look at and provide information on.

  • Appendix 13.2 Marine Ecology and Biodiversity Baseline Conditions
    THE LONDON RESORT PRELIMINARY ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION REPORT Appendix 13.2 Marine Ecology and Biodiversity Baseline Conditions WATER QUALITY 13.2.1. The principal water quality data sources that have been used to inform this study are: • Environment Agency (EA) WFD classification status and reporting (e.g. EA 2015); and • EA long-term water quality monitoring data for the tidal Thames. Environment Agency WFD Classification Status 13.2.2. The tidal River Thames is divided into three transitional water bodies as part of the Thames River Basin Management Plan (EA 2015) (Thames Upper [ID GB530603911403], Thames Middle [ID GB53060391140] and Thames Lower [ID GB530603911401]. Each of these waterbodies are classified as heavily modified waterbodies (HMWBs). The most recent EA assessment carried out in 2016, confirms that all three of these water bodies are classified as being at Moderate ecological potential (EA 2018). 13.2.3. The Thames Estuary at the London Resort Project Site is located within the Thames Middle Transitional water body, which is a heavily modified water body on account of the following designated uses (Cycle 2 2015-2021): • Coastal protection; • Flood protection; and • Navigation. 13.2.4. The downstream extent of the Thames Middle transitional water body is located approximately 12 km downstream of the Kent Project Site and 8 km downstream of the Essex Project Site near Lower Hope Point. Downstream of this location is the Thames Lower water body which extends to the outer Thames Estuary. 13.2.5. A summary of the current Thames Middle water body WFD status is presented in Table A13.2.1, together with those supporting elements that do not currently meet at least Good status and their associated objectives.

Whether this is the secluded beach that no one else seems to have discovered or the best family run restaurant in the district, visitors gain an immense sense of personal achievement to have found ‘the best, authentic, most unique, secret, unusual and downright bizarre’; and when they take to social media this experience becomes an almost ‘badge of honour’, that all who follow will want to obtain.

  • 7.2 Detailed Baseline
    THE LONDON RESORT PRELIMINARY ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION REPORT Appendix 7.2 Detailed Baseline INTRODUCTION Chapter 7: Land use and socio-economics reports the existing socio-economic and employment conditions relevant to the study areas of the London Resort, and assesses the impact of the London Resort upon those baseline conditions. However, it is important to outline the baseline conditions in more detail than Chapter 7: Land use and socio-economics. This appendix reviews the baseline conditions at a more detailed geography and presents additional metrics and industry specific data. This appendix follows the same structure as the baseline presented in the chapter, where data relevant to each effect is listed in order of the effects assessed. Chapter 7: Land use and socio-economics concludes on the sensitivity of each receptor relevant to each effect, that sensitivity is not repeated in this appendix. The study areas are consistent with that presented in the main chapter, as shown in Table 7.2.1 below. Notably, the listed study area abbreviations are used throughout the appendix. Study areas considered in the London Resort Geographical Definition Rationale Study Area The DCO Order Limits. The PSB study area is used for effects which The Project Site Refer to Figure 7.1 in are at the Project Site level. It is used for the Boundary (PSB) Chapter 7 for a map of assessment of displacement / loss of the PSB businesses. The CIA is used to assess the displacement / loss of community uses, such as open spaces, Community A 500m radius around public rights of way and other recreational or Impact Area (CIA) the PSB community facilities as the community uses affected will be in or near the Project Site.
