MAP SHOWING EXTENT OF PUBLIC CONSULTATION A5 - RECONSULTATION RESPONSES (APRIL 2005) Reconsultation took place in June 2004 and April 2005, following the submission of substantive supplementary information. Residents and businesses in the locality were notified and a more comprehensive letter was sent to those who had replied earlier and to statutory consultees and other interested third parties. 13 pre-prepared letters of objection have been received sharing concerns raised by Convoys Opportunity from 15, 19, 20, 25, 50, and 63 Eddystone Tower Oxestalls Road, 33 and 36 Harman House Bowditch, 112 Daubeney Tower Bowditch, 37 Marlowe House Bowditch, 11 Deptford Wharf, 102 Gilbert House McMillan Street, 23 Rochdale Way 12 replies were received from occupiers of 9 and 32 Albury Street, 40 Etta Street, 252 and 315 Evelyn Street, 32 Stretton Mansions Glaisher Street, 4 Sanford Walk, 41 Lanyard House Windlass Place, 13 Woodcote House Prince Street, 71 Parkside Vanbrugh Park. These raise a number of points that are incorporated in the summary of objections below: • current proposal is a missed opportunity and a conventional high rise scheme that could be found anywhere in London; • construction of 3,500 flats would be ‘socially unsustainable’ and at odds with the community environment of Deptford. Flats would be bought as investment; • a mix of housing tenure is required; • a mix of dwelling types are needed, including family housing to help ensure stability in the community; • affordable housing is needed; • employment opportunities should be created other than those in service/retail outlets; • some maritime use should be found for available deepwater; • the towers would be out of keeping with the area; • loss of wall around the site; • waste recycling plant (and would remove the responsibility of waste disposal from its producers); • need for range of community facilities; • need for bus services; • the deep water facility should be maintained; • support for alternative proposals that include a cruise liner terminal, which is also backed by the PLA and in various reports; • proposal is contrary to Blue Ribbon Network within The London Plan; • details of environmental impact are still unclear; • loss of light to neighbouring properties; • increase in traffic during demolition, construction and upon the commencement of the use would lead to air and noise pollution and damage to buildings and drains and would require remedial works in the area; • there is no firm undertaking that waste would be transported by barge; • a significant number of facilities would be required to support the development. These include health, education, leisure and community uses; • query about any Section 106 package the Council might be negotiating; • a heritage centre should be created on site because of its archaeological significance. In addition, one letter of support has been received (no address given). Cllr. David Grant (Greenwich West Ward) has written in support of the proposal for a cruise liner terminal. He feels that the three tower blocks are likely to disfigure the area since they would be entirely out of character with other local buildings. He supports high density housing but believes that this could be delivered without the higher buildings. Letters have also been received from two other people expressing an interest in the development. • The AHOY (The Adventure Help and Opportunities for Youth Centre) Centre, a sailing and boating centre on Deptford Reach has written to explain the nature of their facility and their need for funding. • The Rev Canon Graham Corneck has also requested assistance through Section 106 monies to help the development of a mixed community facility at St Luke's Church, Evelyn Street. Lastly, a letter has been received from a company wishing to use the existing jetty for the servicing of vessels that would provide a range of services, including commuting. Thames Water No further response Environment Agency The EA considers that the ecological response in the resubmission is inadequate: parts of the documentation were missing and the new material did not address earlier concerns. In particular, the submission needs to address impacts upon the river wall and its ecology resulting from works to the riverbed, hard landscaping and the replacement of flood defences.
