Safeguarded Wharves Review 2011/2012
The Mayor has published for comment a consultation document setting out the results of a review of the safeguarding of wharves on London's waterways. This updates the 2005 London Plan Implementation Report on Safeguarded Wharves.
This consultation report includes long term water freight trade forecasts and associated wharf capacity requirements and distribution to 2031. The work on capacity is complemented by assessments of existing wharves based on the viability test set out in paragraph 7.77 of the London Plan. The document concludes with an overview of proposed ways to address identified future capacity surpluses and deficits and recommendations for the future safeguarding or release of individual wharves.
