The assessment considers the effect of the Proposed Development in the context of heritage legislation and policy on a number of designated heritage assets, all of which are less than 500m from the boundary of the Site. These designated heritage assets have been identified as those which could be potentially affected, in terms of their ‘significance’ as defined in the NPPF, as a result of development on the Site. It should be read in conjunction with the Built Heritage Assessment (“BHA”), which assesses the effect of the Proposed Development on the setting of heritage assets in the wider area, and the Townscape and visual impact assessment (“TVIA”), both within the Environmental Statement Volume II (ref NQ.PA.08 Vol. 2), also prepared by Peter Stewart Consultancy.

  • Echelon Data Centres – LCY10 Nos 1, 2 and 4 Greenwich View Place, London E14 9NN Heat Rejection Using Dock Cooling – Technical Note 4Th December 2020 Rev 02
    Echelon Data Centres – LCY10 Nos 1, 2 and 4 Greenwich View Place, London E14 9NN Heat Rejection using Dock Cooling – Technical Note 4th December 2020 Rev 02 1.0 Introduction Echelon Data Centres (Echelon DC) are developing the buildings at Nos 1, 2 and 4 (known as GV1, GV2 and GV4) Greenwich View Place to become a single data centre. Previously the buildings were 3 separate units, but through planning approvals received in 2012 and 2016, they have now become a single building now termed LCY-10. Previously HDR|Hurley Palmer Flatt produced a paper on the “External Energy Options” that were available to the project at LCY-10 including the use of dock cooling for heat rejection in tandem in a resilient format with the Barkantine Energy System (similar to Option 6). This Technical Note considers the reality of being able to reject heat into the nearby Outer Millwall Dock and any implications to being able to provide the capacity required to support the overall 17MW of IT load capacity within LCY-10. 2.0 Background The LCY-10 buildings are built adjacent to the Outer Millwall Dock located in the Isle of Dogs Peninsula in East London. Figure 1 shows the location, Figure 2 shows the key side with GV3 building protruding over the top of the dock itself approx. 1m above the water level. The dock is considered a closed water body, the slipway to the Thames opposite Surrey Quays is completely close and has the West Ferry Road running over it. To the North via the Glengall Bridge, there is the Millwall Inner Dock which then connects by canal connection to the South Dock; although the South Dock can be opened to the Thames, all of the docks are effectively closed.

  • Plastic Boat Launched at Millwall Docks
    The Docklands Advertiser Plastic boat launched by government minister at Millwall Docks to clear litter dumped in British waters Environment minister Therese Coffey and Paralympic sailor Alexandra Rickham watched by Canary Wharf schoolchildren on quayside at launch of all-plastic boat at Millwall Docks. Picture: Lucy Young Schoolchildren in east London helped a government minister make a splash at the Isle of Dogs to launch the world’s first boat made with 99 per cent polymer from recycled plastic waste. Therese Coffey [far left] and Paralympic sailor Alexandra Rickham go fisihing for plastic waste at Millwall Docks in world's first boat made from 99pc recycled plastic. Picture: Lucy Young Environment minister Thérèse Coffey boarded the boat for its maiden voyage in the Millwall Docks yesterday, along with pupils from nearby Canary Wharf College and British Paralympic champion sailor Alexandra Rickham. The aim was raising public attention to growing levels of plastic pollution in Britain’s waterways. The Hubbub environment charity built the vessel to help clear plastic waste dumped in docks and waterways which is then recycled to build more polymer boats for a “litter-busting fleet” to use all over Britain. Therese Coffey socres when she nets a plastic football floating in the Millwall Docks. Picture: Lucy Young “This solution shows the damaging effect plastic litter has on our environment and wildlife,” the environment minister said. “We are planning one of the world’s toughest bans on plastic microbeads.” The Canary Wharf schoolchildren were first involved in fishing plastic litter from the docks earlier this year when one parent, Christine Armstrong, got a group out one weekend.
