Hurlingham 4 Address Carnwath Road, London SW6 Local Authority Hammersmith & Fulham Grid reference E 525,603/ N 175,568 Site area 0.51 ha Boundary Change None Road Access Access to Carnwath Road from north via Wandsworth Bridge Road, A217 (SRN) with connections to New Kings Road, A308 (SRN), access from south via Wandsworth Bridge Road, A217 (SRN) Congestion (delay Wandsworth Brdige Road A217 between j/w York Road (A3205) and in minutes/km) j/w King’s Road (A308): North bound: 0.5 to over 1.5 South bound 0.5 to over 1.5 Rail Access N/A Comments Wandsworth Bridge Road, A217 (SRN) offers connections to west and southwest London via junctions with A308 (SRN), A3 (TLRN), and a number of other strategic routes. Wandsworth Bridge Road experiences significant HGV flows at present. There are capacity constraints at the junction of Wandsworth Bridge Road and Carnwath Road, especially at peak times. However, the local Highway Authority has identified an improvement scheme to provide additional capacity. A Delivery and Servicing Plan could help to mitigate the noise and air quality effects of road freight activity at the wharf. Retaining wharf capacity in the area could help encourage mode shift to water, reducing the amount of strategic road freight passing through west London. Min. and max. Dries 2.26 metres to 3.68 metres berth depths Wall or jetty berth Wall berth (80 metres) (and length) Vessel size N/A LOA x beam x draft (m) Comments A drying berth, typical of the river upstream of the Thames Barrier. No campshed. Berth characteristics appropriate for barge traffic, which travels to the wharf on the flood tide, mooring at or near high water. Works to the berth are to be undertaken prior to Tideway’s use of the wharf in connection with the Thames Tideway Tunnel which should improve the wharf’s viability. Site’s planning The LB Hammersmith & Fulham Core Strategy (October 2011) in status paragraph 7.140 seeks the consolidation of wharf capacity onto fewer Surrounding land better located sites and in para 7.141 calls for the removal of the use and planning safeguarded designation at this wharf in the next Mayoral safeguarded context wharves review. The wharf forms part of the Carnwarth Road main drive site for the Thames Tideway Tunnel scheme. Current Use Vacant, last cargo handled c.1997 when wharf acquired by property (if vacant date and developer. last handled cargo) Recent average N/A tonnage (2012- 5 2016) On-site processing N/A Environmental See Separate WSP Consulting Appendices Impacts Market Interest The wharf is to be used in connection with the Thames Tideway and alternative Tunnel project until 2022, handling over 1mt of cargo by water, wharves including CD&E waste, aggregates and tunnel lining segments. In addition, there continues to be substantial interest from operators within and new to the Port of London for handling bulk cargoes, especially aggregates and containerised traffic. Safeguarding Retain safeguarding. Site is viable and long-standing interest has been Recommendation expressed in it by a range of cargo-handling operators. 6 2.
