Initial Design Principles

Our aspirations for new waterside developments are that they:

  • Positively address the water
  • Integrate the towing path & open up access to the water
  • Link waterside space and waterspace
  • Utilise the water itself
  • Incorporate access and other improvements
  • Engage with and tease out the quality and benefit of

being by water

  • Create strategic connected waterway and waterside

neighbourhoods Reflect these principles in planning policy

  • We’ve seen new boating communities emerge
  • Places where there were once quiet with few boats, are

now busy and active places

  • The growth in boat numbers has put pressure on mooring

space and facilities

  • Increased number of boats also has implications for how

the waterway can be used for different boating activities

  • Environment Committee

‘rapportage’ led by Baroness Jenny Jones

  • Investigation into the

provision of moorings in London and their environmental impact

  • Evidence from users, boating

groups, local authorities and navigation authorities

slide-65
SLIDE 65

Recommendation 2:

  • Planning authorities should use

the development control process …… to ensure that waterside developments enhance and do not detract from the waterways and their uses, including residential mooring use.

Recommendation 2 (cont’d):

  • The Mayor should, in the next

set of amendments to the London Plan, more fully reflect the residential value of London’s waterways, and include a policy to increase the number

  • f moorings.
