URGENT NEWSFLASH – BOW WHARF & LOCK STOP BRIDGE – PETITION
Following the withdrawal from the Development Committee meeting on 8 March, the applications for Bow Wharf and Lock Stop Bridge did not go to the planning committee: mainly because of ongoing negotiations re existing fire engine route, which is to be tested by a fire engine – now the application is back.
We, the undersigned local residents, object to planning applications PA/11/03371 and 03372 for the proposed residential development at BOW WHARF, which fail to comply with three relevant planning inspectorate decisions; and would cause substantial harm to the significance of the most important part of the Regent’s Canal Conservation Area, and to the setting of the two locally-listed industrial buildings at Bow Wharf (as fully set out in East End Waterway Group letters of 29 November 2011 and 20 April 2012, and nearly seventy letters of objection from local residents). And would, in our opinion, be reliant on two unsatisfactory and potentially dangerous fire engine routes, only accessible by a 7.7m long wheelbase fire tender vehicle.
