SUMMARY

S.1 The Statement of Reasons

S.1.1 This Statement of Reasons relates to an application (“the Application”) by Transport for London (“TfL”/"the Applicant") to the Secretary of State (through the Planning Inspectorate) under the Planning Act 2008 (as amended) (“the Act”) for powers, including powers to acquire land compulsorily and to use land temporarily, to build and operate the Silvertown Tunnel (“the Scheme”) and associated works, and to undertake all other necessary measures pursuant to a Development Consent Order ("DCO").

S.1.2 This Statement has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of section 37(3)(d) of the Act and regulation 5(2)(h) of the Infrastructure Planning (Applications: Prescribed Forms and Procedure) Regulations 2009 (“the APFP Regulations”).

S.2 Scheme description

S.2.1 The proposed Silvertown Tunnel is a twin-bore, dual carriageway road tunnel beneath the River Thames linking the A102 on the Greenwich Peninsula to the Tidal Basin Roundabout in the Royal Docks area at Silvertown. The tunnel would be approximately 1.4km long and would be able to accommodate large vehicles including double-deck buses.

S.3 The need for the Scheme

S.3.1 The Scheme is proposed in response to the three transport problems which exist at the Blackwall Tunnel: congestion, frequent closures and a lack of resilience (owing to the lack of proximate alternative crossings). These issues lead to adverse effects on the economy and local environment. In the context of continued significant growth, these problems can only get worse, and in turn their secondary impacts will increase. Failing to address these problems could hamper the sustainable and optimal growth of London and the UK.

S.3.2 The Silvertown Tunnel is supported by Government policy. In 2012 it was designated a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (“NSIP”) by a Section 35 Direction made by the Secretary of State ("SoS") for Transport.

Silvertown Tunnel



S.4 Powers sought in the DCO

S.4.1 This Statement is required because the DCO, if made, will include powers to:

• acquire land compulsoril;:

• create and acquire compulsorily new rights over land;

• extinguish or override existing rights over land; and

• and use and possess land temporarily.

for the purposes of the Scheme.

S.5 Scope of powers sought

S.5.1 The powers authorising the acquisition of land, or of interests in and/or rights over land, are principally contained in articles 19 (compulsory acquisition of land) and 22 (compulsory acquisition of rights) of the DCO, but there are a number of other DCO articles which also contain powers affecting land.

S.5.2 If the DCO were made and development consent granted, these powers would authorise the compulsory acquisition of land (article 19), the acquisition of subsoil and airspace only (article 26), the temporary use of land (article 29), for example for construction, and they would permit the Applicant to create and acquire new rights over land (articles 22 and 28).

S.5.3 The DCO would also confer on the Applicant other rights and powers the exercise of which may result in interference with property rights and private interests in land.

S.5.4 Where these powers of compulsory acquisition are exercised, owners of the relevant land or rights in land may be entitled to compensation under the Compensation Code, where a valid claim is made out. Any dispute in respect of the compensation payable would be referred to and determined by the Lands Chamber of the Upper Tribunal.

S.6 Diligent inquiry/ land referencing

S.6.1 As required in accordance with the Act, the Applicant undertook “diligent inquiry” through a land referencing process to identify parties within Categories 1, 2 and 3, as defined in sections 44 and 57 of the Act. These include owners, lessees, tenants and occupiers of the land within the Order

Page 12 of 232

Silvertown Tunnel



limits. Category 2 includes parties that are interested in the land or have the power to sell, convey or release the land within the Order limits.

S.6.2 The Land Referencing Limits were set to include the following:

• all land within the Order limits required for the Scheme;

• all residential properties and community buildings within a 300m buffer zone extending from the Order limits; and

• the Book of Reference (Document Reference 4.3) sets out the results of the land referencing.

S.7 Consultation with major landowners

S.7.1 The Applicant has been in discussion for a considerable length of time with many of the landowners affected by proposals for the Silvertown Tunnel, with the continuing aim of negotiating to acquire by agreed private treaty the land and rights needed to construct and operate the Scheme. As a result, the Applicant is aiming to secure options to purchase the freehold of a number of parcels of land required for the Scheme.

S.7.2 The current position in relation to the Applicant’s engagement and negotiations with landowners affected by the Scheme is explained in Appendix B to this Statement of Reasons. Detailed discussions are ongoing with landowners and occupiers in order to ensure that their concerns are taken into account and accommodated wherever possible.

S.8 Justification for seeking powers

S.8.1 The specific purposes for which the Applicant requires each parcel of land within the Order limits is set out in Appendix A to this Statement of Reasons. The Secretary of State must be satisfied before making the DCO that the land identified within the Order limits is needed for the development and that no more land is proposed to be taken than is reasonably required to enable the delivery of the Scheme.

S.8.2 Due to the nature of the design process and the timing of the consenting process, the Applicant requires a degree of flexibility as to where certain sections of the Silvertown Tunnel can be constructed within the defined limits of deviation which are provided for in the draft Order. At this stage, all the land included in the Order land is considered to be necessary to enable the delivery of the Scheme. However, should it transpire that any part of the Order land is not required, for instance as a result of the detailed design

Page 13 of 232

Silvertown Tunnel



process in due course or because a parcel of land has been acquired by agreement as a result of successful negotiations, in those circumstances compulsory acquisition powers would not be exercised in respect of such land because such exercise would not be necessary or justified.

S.8.3 The Applicant's approach, which combines genuine attempts to acquire land by agreement with the planning, in parallel, of a compulsory acquisition timetable as a contingency measure, and with taking action to initiate formal compulsory acquisition procedures, is in accordance with the 2013 DCLG Guidance.

S.8.4 For the reasons set out in detail in this Statement of Reasons, the Applicant considers that there is a compelling case in the public interest which would justify the use of powers of compulsory acquisition, such that the relevant statutory tests in sections 122 of the Act were met.

S.9 Options assessment

S.9.1 A detailed options assessment process was carried out which considered a broad range of river crossing options. This is set out in more detail in the Case for the Scheme (Document Reference 7.1).A detailed assessment process was undertaken to identify the land and rights needed to implement the Scheme. A number of engineering and design alternatives were considered and landowner negotiations were ongoing and influenced the process.

S.10 Funding

S.10.1 The Funding Statement for the Scheme (Document Reference 4.2) sets out, in accordance with the recommendation in the 2013 DCLG Guidance (at paragraph 9), that there is a "reasonable prospect of the requisite funds for acquisition becoming available". It explains how the Scheme, and the compulsory acquisition of land required to enable its delivery are proposed to be funded, and how the requisite funding would be made available within a reasonable timescale.

S.11 Statutory undertakers

S.11.1 Appendix D to this Statement of Reasons contains a list of statutory undertakers and other similar bodies which have, or which may have, a right to keep equipment (in connection with their undertaking) on, in or over the land required for the Scheme. Utilities diversions are included in the Schedule of Works which forms Schedule 1 of the draft DCO (Document

Page 14 of 232

Silvertown Tunnel



Reference 3.1). The table in paragraph 8.4 of this Statement sets out the plots of land owned by statutory undertakers that are proposed to be acquired in connection with the Scheme.

S.12 Special Category land

S.12.1 The Applicant’s proposed Order limits include two areas of open space - the Applicant would only be acquiring subsoil beneath the open space, and rights under and over it, not the open space itself. Therefore, in so far as the Applicant would be acquiring land (should compulsory acquisition powers be granted), the land acquired, being subsoil beneath the open space, does not come within the statutory definition of open space and therefore the open space protections in section 131 of the Planning Act 2008 do not apply to it.

S.12.2 Where the Applicant seeks to acquire rights over an area of open space, the nature of those rights, being rights to impose restrictive covenants on the land for the protection of the tunnel structure, is not incompatible with the continued use of the land at surface level as open space. Therefore, the use would be exempted from the protection for open space which section 132 of the Act confers, by virtue of the application of the exception in section 132(3) of the Act.

S.12.3 Where the Applicant is seeking only powers of temporary possession, this is not compulsory acquisition, and as such would not trigger the protections in sections 131 or 132 of the Planning Act 2008.

S.13 Conclusion

S.13.1 The Applicant considers that there is a compelling case in the public interest for the making of the DCO and for the inclusion in the DCO of powers of compulsory acquisition and temporary possession, so as to secure the necessary land and property interests required to construct and operate the Scheme.

1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Statement of Reasons

1.1.1 This Statement of Reasons (“the Statement”) relates to an application (“the Application”) by Transport for London (“TfL”/"the Applicant") to the Secretary of State (through the Planning Inspectorate) under the Planning Act 2008 (as amended) (“the Act”) for powers, including powers of compulsory acquisition of land, to build and operate the Silvertown Tunnel (“the Scheme”) and associated works, and to undertake all other necessary measures pursuant to a Development Consent Order ("DCO").

1.1.2 The proposed Silvertown Tunnel is a twin-bore, dual carriageway road tunnel beneath the River Thames linking the A102 on the Greenwich Peninsula to the Tidal Basin Roundabout in the Royal Docks area. The tunnel would be approximately 1.4km long and would be able to accommodate large vehicles including double-deck buses. The proposed location of the tunnel is shown on the Location Plan (Document Reference 2.1).

1.1.3 This Statement has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of section 37(3)(d) of the Act and regulation 5(2)(h) of the Infrastructure Planning (Applications: Prescribed Forms and Procedure) Regulations 2009 (“the APFP Regulations”), and with guidance issued by the Department for Communities and Local Government in September 2013, Planning Act 2008: Guidance related to procedures for the compulsory acquisition of land (“the 2013 DCLG guidance”), and in October 2015, Guidance on Compulsory Purchase Process and the Crichel Down Rules ("the 2015 DCLG Guidance"). It forms part of the documents accompanying the Application submitted in accordance with section 55 of the Act and regulation 5 of the APFP Regulations. The Application seeks development consent for the Scheme by the making of the proposed Silvertown Tunnel Order, which would confer the powers sought.

1.1.4 This Statement of Reasons is part of a suite of application documents submitted for the purposes of section 55 ‘Acceptance of applications’ of the 2008 Act. These documents inform this Statement and should be read alongside it. This Statement is required because the DCO, if made, will include powers to:

• acquire land compulsorily:

• create and acquire compulsorily new rights over land; and

Page 17 of 232

Silvertown Tunnel



• extinguish or override existing rights over land,

1.1.5 for the purposes of the Scheme.

1.1.6 It is necessary for the decision maker in respect of the Application to be satisfied that there is a compelling case in the public interest for the inclusion of powers of compulsory acquisition in the Order for the purposes of the Scheme.

1.1.7 The Applicant considers that there is a compelling case in the public interest for the making of the DCO and the inclusion of powers for compulsory acquisition so as to secure the necessary land and property interests required to construct and operate the Scheme. The purpose of this Statement is to explain why this is so.

1.1.8 The Application is being made to secure the requisite powers to build and operate the Silvertown Tunnel scheme; a nationally significant infrastructure project for which there is a national and local need. Those powers are set out in the draft Order which accompanies the Application for development consent.

1.1.9 In June 2012 the Secretary of State for Transport gave a direction under section 35 of the Planning Act 2008 that the proposed Silvertown Tunnel Scheme should be designated as a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (“NSIP”). The NSIP designation means that the project may only be authorised by means of a DCO made by the Secretary of State under the Planning Act 2008.

1.1.10 The Silvertown tunnel scheme is proposed in response to the three transport problems which exist at the Blackwall Tunnel: congestion, frequent closures and a lack of resilience (owing to the lack of proximate alternative crossings). These issues lead to adverse effects on the economy and local environment. In the context of continued significant growth, these problems can only get worse, and in turn their secondary impacts will increase. Failing to address these problems could hamper the sustainable and optimal growth of London and the UK.

1.1.11 In accordance with the requirements of the APFP Regulations and the 2013 and 2015 DCLG Guidance, TfL has, as part of the DCO application, provided the following documents relating to the justification for compulsory acquisition powers to be granted for the purposes of constructing and operating the Scheme:

• this Statement of Reasons;

Page 18 of 232

Silvertown Tunnel



• the Funding Statement (a statement to explain how the proposals contained in the Order for compulsory acquisition will be funded) (Document Reference 4.2);

• plans showing the land which would be compulsorily acquired and land over which new rights would be compulsorily acquired, including special category land and any proposed replacement land, and land to be used temporarily (“the Order land”) - ("the Land Plans" [– within the Book of Plans]) (Document Reference 2.3); and

• the Book of Reference, identifying the names and addresses of persons with an interest in land affected by the Scheme (Document Reference 4.3).

1.1.12 The Order land is more fully described in chapter 4 of this Statement.

1.1.13 The structure of this Statement of Reasons is as follows:

• Chapter 2 describes the Scheme and why it is needed.

• Chapter 3 explains the scope and source of the statutory powers sought in the DCO for the compulsory acquisition of land and rights over land, and for the temporary possession of land.

• Chapter 4 describes the location of the Scheme and the land which would be affected by its construction and operation.

• Chapter 5 explains the purposes for which the powers are sought to enable the compulsory acquisition of land and compulsory acquisition of rights over land (together, "powers of compulsory acquisition"), and powers to use and possess land temporarily ("powers of temporary possession").

• Chapter 6 sets out the justification for seeking powers of compulsory acquisition and temporary possession.

• Chapter 7 explains how the Applicant has sought to engage with landowners and negotiate to acquire land for the Scheme by agreement.

• Chapter 8 sets out the impacts of the Scheme on statutory undertakers.

• Chapter 9 explains the Applicant’s compliance with human rights legislation relevant to the determination of the DCO application.

Page 19 of 232

Silvertown Tunnel



• Chapter 10 sets out relevant planning policy and its application to the Scheme.

• Chapter 11 describes any special considerations affecting the Order land and how any related statutory requirements will be met.

• Chapter 12 sets out other consents which are required to be granted in relation to the Scheme.

1.2 Guide to DCO documentation

1.2.1 The following paragraphs provide a step by step guide to enable a person with an interest in land affected by the Scheme to use the DCO documentation to find out how the Applicant's proposals may affect the land in which they have an interest.

1.2.2 Step 1: Look at the Land Plans (Document Reference 2.3) and find the area (plot(s)) of land in which you have an interest.

1.2.3 Step 2: Note the colour of the plot and the number of the plot.

• The colour of the plot will give you an initial indication of the purpose for which the land in that plot is required:

o pink plots - compulsory acquisition of land

o blue plots – compulsory acquisition of new rights over land / imposition of restrictive covenants restricting use of land

o green plots – temporary possession and use of land

o yellow plots – protective works

• Note the plot number – this will enable you to identify the land where it is referred to in other DCO documents – see Step 3 below.

1.2.4 Step 3: Use the plot number(s) to find references to the land in other DCO documents, such as:

• the Book of Reference (Document Reference number 4.3) – this provides a brief description of each plot (including an approximate area measurement) and details of persons who own, lease or otherwise occupy or have an interest in the land;

• the Statement of Reasons – Appendix A of this document:

Page 20 of 232

Silvertown Tunnel



o explains in more detail the purposes for which each plot of land is needed for the Scheme and how each plot of land is proposed to be used;

o provides cross references to the numbered Works shown on the Works Plans (Document Reference 2.5) and described in Schedule 1 to the draft DCO (Document Reference 3.1);

o provides cross-references to the articles in the draft DCO which, if the DCO is made by the Secretary of State and development consent is granted, would provide the Applicant with the statutory power to use the land as proposed in the DCO documentation; and

o provides cross-references to the Schedules in the draft DCO which set out which plots of land are required for:

the acquisition of new rights or restrictive covenants only (DCO Schedule 4);

the acquisition of subsoil and new rights / restrictive covenants above only (DCO Schedule 6);

temporary possession only (DCO Schedule 7).

• the draft Development Consent Order ('DCO') (Document Reference number 3.1).

Silvertown Tunnel



1.2.5 Here is a condensed version of the 3-step guide:

1.2.6

Step 2: Step 1:

• See the Land Plans and find the land in which you have an interest.

Step 2:

• Using the Land Plans, note the plot number of the plot in which you have an interest.

Step 3:

• Using the plot number, look up the plot in Appendix A to this Statement of Reasons. This will tell you the purposes for which the plot is needed for the Scheme.

• You can also look the plot up in

o the Book of Reference; and

o the draft DCO.

2. DESCRIPTION OF THE SCHEME

2.1 Scheme description

2.1.1 Transport for London (TfL) is proposing a new road tunnel linking the areas north and south of the River Thames between the Greenwich Peninsula and Silvertown, hereafter referred to as the Silvertown Tunnel (“the Scheme”). The location of the Scheme is shown in Figure 2-1.

2.1.2 The Scheme would comprise a new dual two-lane road connection between the A102 Blackwall Tunnel Approach on Greenwich Peninsula (London Borough of Greenwich) and the Tidal Basin roundabout junction on the A1020 Lower Lea Crossing/Silvertown Way (London Borough of Newham) by means of a twin bore tunnel under the River Thames, and associated approach roads. The Silvertown Tunnel would be approximately 1.4km long and would be able to accommodate large vehicles including double-deck buses. The design of the tunnel would include a dedicated bus/coach and Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) lane in each direction, which would provide opportunities for the Applicant to provide additional cross-river bus routes. The Boord Street footbridge over the A102 would be replaced with a pedestrian and cycle bridge.

2.1.3 New tunnel service buildings would be located close to each tunnel portal, at the surface, to house the plant and equipment necessary to operate the tunnel.

2.1.4 The introduction of free-flow user charging on both the Blackwall and Silvertown Tunnels would serve to manage traffic demand and support the financing of the construction and operation of the Silvertown Tunnel.

2.1.5 Main construction works would likely commence in October 2018 and would last approximately four years with the new tunnel opening in 2022/23. The main site construction compound would be located at Silvertown to enable the utilisation, if reasonably practicable, of Thames Wharf to facilitate the removal of excavated material and delivery of materials by river. A secondary work site compound would be located adjacent to the alignment of the proposed cut and cover tunnel on the Greenwich peninsula.

2.1.6 Schedule 1 of the Draft DCO (Document Reference 3.1) and the Works Plans (Document Reference 2.5) set out the works required for the Scheme.

2.2 The need for the Scheme

2.2.1 The Scheme is proposed in response to the three transport problems which exist at the Blackwall Tunnel: congestion, frequent closures and a lack of resilience (owing to the lack of proximate alternative crossings). These issues lead to adverse effects on the economy and local environment. In the context of continued significant growth, these problems can only get worse, and in turn their secondary impacts will increase. Failing to address these problems could hamper the sustainable and optimal growth of London and the UK.

2.2.2 The River Thames acts as a significant barrier in east London, where the river is relatively wide, making it difficult and costly to construct crossings, and the need to accommodate tall ships is an impediment to bridges. Historically, river crossings in east London have been less important and this, coupled with the challenges described, has led to a paucity of highway crossings: eighteen crossings in west London compared to only five crossings in the east. Because of this and constraints on certain nearby crossings, the Blackwall Tunnel has become a single link of pivotal strategic importance in the highway network.

2.2.3 But the Blackwall tunnel is an old link, with limited capacity, frequent closures (most often due to over height vehicles failing to fit in the Victorian northbound tunnel) and consequential delay and congestion. The crossings nearest to it, the Woolwich Ferry and the Rotherhithe Tunnel cannot act as real alternatives when the Blackwall tunnel is under strain: they too are old and capacity-constrained and lack the strategic connections to the wider network. This means that there is little resilience: this is already evident in the day-to-day problems and would be exacerbated when, as is more likely than not to happen, a long-term closure of the tunnel is required for either maintenance or in response to a serious incident. The singularity of the Blackwall tunnel amplifies the effects of its problems.

2.2.4 In contrast, public transport crossings in east London have multiplied in recent years: seven new rail crossings, with a further crossing to come in the form of Crossrail. This means that by 2020, there will be as many rail crossings to the east of Tower Bridge as to the west of Vauxhall Bridge. Most cross-river travel is undertaken by public transport and this is expected to continue even with the Silvertown Tunnel scheme. Rather, most of the demand for the new tunnel would come from vehicles which would otherwise be queuing to use the existing crossings (and experiencing increasing delay and congestion owing to underlying traffic growth). Additionally, the new scheme would bring benefits to bus and coach users by enabling new

Page 24 of 232

Silvertown Tunnel



services and faster journey times: increasing the share of bus and coach trips through the two tunnels from around ten per cent to around thirty per cent.

2.2.5 The importance of an effective river crossing in east London for national growth is recognised in the designation of the Silvertown tunnel scheme as a nationally significant infrastructure project (NSIP) by the Secretary of State. The designation notes that much of the Capital’s growth will be concentrated in east London, meaning not only that congestion could get worse as a result but that the economic effects of this worsening congestion would be particularly damaging in this context. It states that congestion at the Blackwall tunnel is having an impact on the national road network which the Silvertown tunnel scheme could address. Critically, it highlights why the proposal has national significance:

2.2.6 Given the position of London as an economic driver nationally, any decrease in efficiency in London’s transport network may have a consequential detrimental impact nationally.

2.2.7 The Case for the Scheme in Chapter 2 (Document Reference 7.1) sets out the need for the Scheme in greater detail.

3. SCOPE AND SOURCE OF POWERS SOUGHT IN THE DCO TO ENABLE THE COMPULSARY ACQUISITION OF LAND AND RIGHTS OVER LAND, AND TEMPORARY POSSESSION OF LAND

3.1 Scope of powers sought

3.1.1 This chapter sets out the powers being sought in the DCO to enable the permanent acquisition of land, and of rights over and under land needed for the construction and operation of the Scheme, as well as the possession and use of land on a temporary basis to facilitate the construction of the Scheme.

3.1.2 If development consent is granted for the Scheme and the DCO is made by the Secretary of State, the DCO will include powers which would affect land on both a permanent and temporary basis. These powers are necessary to enable The Applicant to construct the works authorised by the DCO ('the authorised development’) and for the subsequent operation and maintenance of the authorised development. The powers would also enable the Applicant to protect the authorised development, to mitigate the impacts of the authorised development where necessary, and to ensure that access could be taken as necessary to facilitate the construction, operation and maintenance of the authorised development.

3.1.3 The exercise of these powers to acquire or use land would only be possible within the Order limits, which are shown (by a red boundary line) on the Land Plans (Document Reference 2.3).

3.1.4 The nature of the Scheme is such that it will be necessary for the Applicant to acquire land outright, to possess and use land temporarily, and to acquire and exercise other rights over land on either a permanent or a temporary basis, as specified in the DCO and related documentation. In addition, the DCO would confer other rights and powers on the Applicant, which would allow the Applicant to interfere with property rights and private interests in land.

3.1.5 Regulation 5(2)(h) of the APFP Regulations requires a statement of reasons to be produced in support of a DCO which includes powers for the 'compulsory acquisition of land or an interest in or right over land'.

Page 27 of 232

Silvertown Tunnel



3.1.6 As the justification for the exercise of all powers which would or may interfere with property rights and interests in land raises the same issues as apply to the acquisition of land and rights, this Statement of Reasons explains how the powers sought in the DCO would affect each area of land within the Order limits, the reasons why such powers are necessary and how their exercise would be justified. Therefore, where the context requires, the expression 'compulsory acquisition powers' is used in this Statement of Reasons to refer to the additional powers described below, notwithstanding the fact that not all of those powers amount to a power to acquire land compulsorily, and notwithstanding the fact that the temporary possession of land is not a form of compulsory acquisition.

3.2 Powers to acquire land compulsorily

3.2.1 The main powers authorising the acquisition of land, or of interests in and/or rights over land, are contained in article 19 (compulsory acquisition of land) and 22 (compulsory acquisition of rights) of the DCO. Other compulsory acquisition powers are sought in the DCO and these similarly relate to land and may interfere with property rights and interests. The scope of these powers is set out below.

3.2.2 The land permanently required by the Applicant for the purposes of the Scheme comprises a combination of surface land and subterranean land (together with surface rights and restrictive covenants) through which the Silvertown Tunnel will be constructed and operated. Other land is permanently required at surface level for the provision of new or improved highway (and associated retaining walls, gantries etc.), tunnel service buildings at the two tunnel portals, and two headhouses (one above each of the two tunnel boring machine launch chambers).

3.2.3 Where the exercise of these powers was justified, and therefore exercisable, the owner of the affected land may be entitled to compensation under the Compensation Code, where a valid claim is made out. Any dispute in respect of the compensation payable would be referred to and determined by the Lands Chamber of the Upper Tribunal.

3.2.4 Article 19 – compulsory acquisition of land: This article, which reflects the terms of the source of the compulsory acquisition powers in section 122 of the Planning Act 2008, would provide the Applicant with the power to acquire compulsorily so much of the land within the Order limits as is necessary to construct, operate and maintain the Scheme (i.e. the authorised development), and/or the power to acquire so much of the land, or such interests in land, as is/are necessary to facilitate the authorised

Page 28 of 232

Silvertown Tunnel



development, or such land as is required because it is incidental to that development. The terms of the DCO would be drafted so as to enable the Applicant to also exercise a 'lesser' power, where such lesser power (for instance a power to acquire rights over land or to use land temporarily) was deemed appropriate as an alternative to compulsory acquisition.

3.2.5 Article 26 – acquisition of subsoil and airspace only: this article would permit the Applicant to acquire only the subsoil under or airspace over any land over which it has powers of compulsory acquisition under article 18 (such acquisition to be for the same purposes for which the Applicant would be authorised to acquire the whole of the land under that article). The article provides that only the subsoil or airspace can be acquired in respect of identified plots (although rights may be acquired in respect of the surface of the land).

3.2.6 Article 20 – incorporation of the minerals code: this article would exempt from compulsory acquisition any existing rights in mines or minerals, such that the Applicant was not obliged to acquire those rights when acquiring the land beneath which the mines/minerals were located. The article also provides for a procedure to allow the original owner of the relevant land to work those mines or extract those minerals, should they wish to do so notwithstanding the compulsory acquisition of the land by the Applicant.

3.2.7 Article 27 – acquisition of part of certain properties: this article would permit the Applicant to acquire part only of certain properties.

3.2.8 Article 23 – private rights over land: this article provides for the extinguishment of private rights over land in the following circumstances –

• where land is subject to compulsory acquisition (where the land and all interests in it are acquired) (article 23(1));

• where land is subject to the compulsory acquisition of rights over, in or under it, or made subject to the imposition of restrictive covenants, to the extent that continuing the existing rights would be inconsistent with the right acquired or restrictive covenant imposed (article 23(2))

• where land belongs to the Applicant, but is subject to rights exercisable by third parties, and where the construction, operation or maintenance of the works authorised by the DCO would interfere with or breach those rights (article 23(3)); and

• with regard to land over which the Applicant is authorised to take temporary possession (see below for more detail) under the DCO,

Page 29 of 232

Silvertown Tunnel



article 23(4) provides that all private rights over that land would be suspended and unenforceable for as long as the Applicant was in possession of such land.

3.2.9 On the Land Plans (Document Reference 2.3), land which is proposed to be acquired compulsorily is shaded pink.

3.3 Powers to acquire permanent rights over land

3.3.1 Article 22 – compulsory acquisition of rights: this article would permit the Applicant to create and acquire new rights over land; and such rights would be exercisable on a permanent and/or long-term basis. This article would also give the Applicant the power to impose restrictive covenants on land. The rights and/or restrictive covenants could be acquired and/or imposed, as required by the Applicant for any purpose related to the purpose for which land was acquired under article 19. The article provides that only rights can be acquired in certain plots, and not the freehold interest.

3.3.2 Article 28 – rights over or under streets: this article would permit the Applicant to use the subsoil and/or the airspace under or over any street, where required to facilitate the construction of the authorised works. The power conferred by this article would not extend to a subway or an underground building, or to cellars or similar structures forming part of a building fronting the street (article 28(3)) but its exercise would nevertheless constitute an interference with property rights.

3.3.3 On the Land Plans (Document Reference 2.3), land over which new rights are proposed to be acquired, or restrictive covenants imposed compulsorily, is shaded blue. The plots over which rights are proposed to be acquired are listed in Schedule 4 to the DCO.

3.4 Powers to use and possess land temporarily

3.4.1 Article 29 – temporary use of land for carrying out the authorised development: this article would enable the Applicant to take temporary possession of the land specified in Schedule 7 to the DCO, and any other land included within the Order limits (i.e. land to which powers of compulsory acquisition, or powers to acquire rights, apply), provided that the Applicant had not already made a declaration to vest the land in itself or to enter the land following a notice of entry in advance of acquisition.

3.4.2 Whilst using and possessing land temporarily pursuant to article 29, articles 29(1)(b) to (d) would enable the Applicant to:

Page 30 of 232

Silvertown Tunnel



• remove buildings and vegetation from the land;

• construct temporary works (including accesses) and buildings on the land; and

• construct permanent works, as specified in column 3 of Schedule 7 to the DCO, and to carry out certain mitigation works.

3.4.3 The period for temporary possession would be subject to time limits under article 29(5). Unless the owner of the land agreed, the Applicant would not be permitted to remain in possession:

• as regards any land specified in Schedule 7 to the DCO, for more than a year after completing that part of the authorised works specified in relation to that land in column 4 of Schedule 7; and

• as regards any other land within the Order limits, for more than a year after completing the work for which temporary possession was taken (unless before the end of that period the Applicant has made a general vesting declaration or served notice of entry).

3.4.4 The effect of Article 29(6) is to ensure that before giving up possession of any land used temporarily, the Applicant would be obliged to remove all temporary works and to restore the land to the owner's reasonable satisfaction. This restoration obligation would not, however, require the replacement of a building or structure removed under this article, nor would it require the restoration of land on which permanent works had been constructed (where the land was possessed temporarily in the first instance), or the removal of any ground strengthening works or the removal of any measures installed over or around statutory undertakers' apparatus for the protection of that apparatus.

3.4.5 On the Land Plans (Document Reference 2.3), land which is proposed to be used and possessed temporarily is shaded green. The purpose for which such land is proposed to be possessed and used temporarily is set out in Schedule 7 to the DCO.

3.4.6 The DCO would also authorise the Applicant to use land temporarily for purposes connected with the authorised development where powers to acquire land or to acquire new rights over land applied (for instance, over land within the Order limits but not specified in Schedule 7).

3.4.7 Article 30 – temporary use of land for maintaining the authorised development: this article would enable the Applicant to take temporary

Page 31 of 232

Silvertown Tunnel



possession of any land within the Order limits, which is reasonably required for the purpose of maintaining the development at any time during the maintenance period (i.e. a period of [five years] from the date on which that part of the authorised development was opened for use).

3.4.8 Article 30(1)(c) would permit the Applicant to construct temporary works and buildings on the land, in so far as it was reasonably necessary to do so for the purpose of carrying out maintenance works.

3.4.9 The power in article 30 would not enable the Applicant to take temporary possession of a house, or a garden belonging to a house, or any other occupied building (article 30(4)).

3.4.10 The Applicant would only be authorised to remain in possession of land under article 34 for so long as was reasonably necessary to carry out the maintenance of the part of the authorised works for which temporary possession of land was taken (article 30(6)).

3.4.11 Before surrendering possession of the land and returning it to its owner, the Applicant would be required to remove all temporary works on the land and to restore the land to the owner's reasonable satisfaction.

3.5 Other rights and powers

3.5.1 The DCO would also confer on the Applicant other rights and powers the exercise of which may result in interference with property rights and private interests in land. These additional powers are:

3.5.2 Article 9 – permanent stopping up of streets and private means of access: this article enables the Applicant to permanently stop up specific streets and private means of access, with certain of those identified needing to be substituted before being stopped up;

3.5.3 Article 10 – temporary stopping up and restriction of use of streets: this article permits the Applicant to temporarily stop up, alter, divert or restrict the use of streets for the purposes of the development, whilst ensuring that pedestrian access is maintained;

3.5.4 Article 6 – street works: this article would confer authority on the Applicant to interfere with and execute works in or under any streets for the purposes of the authorised development;

Page 32 of 232

Silvertown Tunnel



3.5.5 Article 11 – access to works: this article allows works accesses to public highways to be created. It gives the Applicant a general power to form means of access;

3.5.6 Article 14 – discharge of water: this article sets out the circumstances in which the Applicant is entitled to discharge water into a sewer, watercourse or drain, and its purpose is to establish statutory authority for doing so;

3.5.7 Article 16 – authority to survey and investigate land: this article gives the Applicant the power to enter certain land for the purpose of surveying and testing. It provides that the Applicant must give 14 days’ notice before exercising the powers of entry, and that compensation is payable for any loss or damage caused;

3.5.8 Article 24 – power to override easements and other rights: this article permits the Applicant to override easements and other rights such that land vested in the Applicant would be discharged from all rights, trusts and incidents to which it was previously subject at the point of vesting, together with the benefit of restrictive covenants and instances where land subject to third party rights is acquired by agreement rather than through compulsory acquisition; and

3.5.9 Article 17 – work in the River Thames: this article permits the Applicant to moor or anchor vessels in the river area temporarily in connection with the construction and maintenance of the authorised development, and to load and unload materials in connection with the construction of the authorised development.

3.5.10 Article 18 – felling and lopping of trees: this article would permit any tree or shrub that is near the project to be felled or lopped, or have its roots cut back by the Applicant if it is considered to obstruct the construction, operation or maintenance of the Scheme or endanger anyone using it. Compensation is payable for any loss or damage caused.

3.5.11 Article 15 – protective works: this article provides a power to monitor certain buildings and structures (included within the Order limits) for the effects of ground movement relating to settlement arising from the construction of the authorised works; and to carry out protective works where necessary to mitigate the effects of such settlement. This power applies throughout the Order limits. On the Land Plans (Document Reference 4.3), land which is proposed to be covered by these powers only is shaded yellow. The purposes for which such land is proposed to be covered by theses powers is set out in Appendix A to the Statement of Reasons.

Page 33 of 232

Silvertown Tunnel



3.5.12 Appendix C to this Statement of Reasons explains where streets are proposed to be permanently stopped up pursuant to the DCO, where streets are proposed to be subject to prohibition of use through permanent traffic regulation measures, where private means of access are proposed to be stopped up, and where alternative routes or accesses are also proposed to be substituted.

3.5.13 All the above-mentioned articles in the DCO, which would provide powers enabling the Applicant to acquire land permanently or to use land temporarily, are required to enable the construction, operation and maintenance of the Scheme.

4. DESCRIPTION OF LAND AND RIGHTS IN LAND AFFECTED BY AND IN THE VICINITY OF THE SCHEME

4.1 Introduction

4.1.1 This chapter describes the land which is proposed to be subject to the compulsory acquisition powers that are sought in the DCO. The land is shown on the Land Plans (Document Reference 4.3) and the works for which the land is required are represented on the Works Plans (Document Reference 2.5). Short textual descriptions of each numbered plot shown on the Land Plans together with details of ownership are set out in the Book of Reference at Part 1 (Document Reference 4.3).

4.2 Location

4.2.1 The Silvertown Tunnel would be wholly located within the administrative areas of the Royal Borough of Greenwich (south side) and the London Borough of Newham (north side). The draft DCO includes powers to impose user charges at the Blackwall Tunnel, the northern end of which is located within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets.

4.3 Safeguarding Direction

4.3.1 The Silvertown Tunnel would pass under the River Thames, in land that has been safeguarded for this purpose since 1997 (Government Office for London: Safeguarding direction under articles 10 and 27 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 relating to potential corridors for east Thames river crossings, transferred to the Mayor of London in 2001).

4.3.2 Safeguarding of land is an established part of the planning process, designed to ensure that land which has been identified for major infrastructure projects is protected from conflicting developments.

4.4 Existing land use - north side

4.4.1 The northern tunnel portal and associated highway tie-in is situated in Silvertown to the south of Canning Town in the London Borough of Newham. Transport infrastructure is a dominant feature of the area with the elevated A1020 Silvertown Way/Lower Lea Crossing and the elevated Docklands Light Railway (“DLR”) Woolwich extension running north-west to south-east and the Jubilee Line and Emirates Air Line (“EAL”) cable car running north-east to south-west across the River Thames. To the north of Silvertown Way

Page 35 of 232

Silvertown Tunnel



the area predominantly consists of mixed residential and recreational land uses around the perimeter of the Royal Victoria Docks. This contrasts with light industrial and commercial uses to the south of Silvertown Way, which is bounded by a safeguarded wharf known as Thames Wharf. In this area Dock Rd/North Woolwich Road provides local access to a number of businesses including steel and metal suppliers, scrap metal dealers, concrete batching plants, waste recycling and management businesses and an aggregates supplier. There are emerging plans to redevelop the area for high density residential and mixed uses in the future but no formal proposals exist.

4.5 Existing land use - south side

4.5.1 The southern tunnel portal and associated highway tie-in lies on the Greenwich Peninsula in the Royal Borough of Greenwich. The main transport infrastructure on the peninsula are the A102 Blackwall Tunnel Approach leading to the north and southbound tunnels; Millennium Way providing access to the North Greenwich London Underground (LU) and bus station; the Jubilee Line linking to Canning Town and Canary Wharf; and the EAL south station.

4.5.2 The majority of the area to the north and east of the A102 is undergoing re-development as part of the consented Greenwich Peninsula Masterplan, which is a major high-density residential-led (c. 12,000 homes), mixed-use development. Currently the masterplan is part implemented with offices, hotel and college buildings to the north set around the established O2 and new residential blocks to the south. The central portion is predominantly laid out as surface car parks and access roads associated with The O2 and the station. There is a redundant gas holder (approximately 75m in diameter), former lorry park, nightclub and office/commercial uses between Millennium Way and the A102 immediately south of the proposed southern tunnel portal. This area is bisected west to east by Boord Street which provides access to a footbridge crossing of the A102 and links to Tunnel Avenue on the west side. Tunnel Avenue provides access to a variety of existing and former light industrial and commercial uses on the west side of the peninsula including an aggregates supplier/wharf and chemical distribution company.

4.5.3 In addition to the EAL, Jubilee Line and Blackwall Tunnel infrastructure there is a pier serving the Thames Clipper river bus on the east side of the Greenwich Peninsula. South of this there are moorings for leisure craft and on the north side there are moorings for barges, tugs and marine engineering vessels adjacent to Thames Wharf. The main navigation channel serves a variety of traffic from large sea-going vessels to small

Page 36 of 232

leisure craft. The River Lea (known as Bow Creek) joins the main river at the northern end of Thames Wharf.

4.7 Settlements

4.7.1 The largest settlements within the vicinity of the Scheme on the north side are Canning Town to the immediate north and the Royal Docks to the north east. To the west, close to the exit of the north bound Blackwall Tunnel is Canary Wharf.

4.7.2 On the south side the tunnel exit and entrance is on the Greenwich Peninsula, a growing residential area. Further to the south the major settlements are Greenwich to the west and Charlton to the east.

4.8 Services/Utilities

4.8.1 A number of existing utility services lie within the area of the Scheme and some would be affected by the authorised works in that they would be required to be diverted or re-aligned (these are listed below). Such diversion or re-alignment may not be wholly contained within the land to be acquired and in such cases the Applicant will acquire new permanent rights over land for the benefit of the utility company and/or take temporary possession of land in order to undertake the works. The Scheme may also affect existing minor private utility supplies and also services and utilities such as telecommunications cables that are anticipated to be diverted within the highway boundary.

4.8.2 Descriptions of the diversion / accommodation works which will need to be carried out are set out in Chapter 8 of this Statement, which provides information about the impacts of the Scheme on statutory undertakers’ land, rights and apparatus.

4.9 Diligent inquiry process/methodology

4.9.1 As required in accordance with the Act, the Applicant was required to identify individuals in one or more of the categories set out in sections 44 and 57 of the Act. This included undertaking “diligent inquiry” to identify parties within Categories 1, 2 and 3, as defined in sections 44 and 57 of the Act. Category 1 includes owners, lessees, tenants and occupiers of the land within the Order limits. Category 2 includes parties that are interested in the land or have the power to sell, convey or release the land within the Order limits. Category 3 includes parties who the Applicant thinks would or might, if the Order sought by the application were made and fully implemented, be entitled to make a relevant claim for compensation under section 10 of the Compulsory Purchase Act 1965 and/or Part 1 of the Land Compensation Act 1973 and/or section 152(3) of the Act.

Page 38 of 232

Silvertown Tunnel



4.9.2 A professional land referencing firm was employed to undertake diligent inquiry to identify these land interests. The following processes were undertaken as part of the methodology to identify and consult with those with an interest in affected land.

4.9.3 Setting the Land Referencing Limits (“the Land Referencing Limits”)

4.9.4 The Land Referencing Limits were set to include the following:

• All land within the Order limits required for the Scheme; and

• All residential properties and community buildings within a 300m buffer zone extending from the Order limits.

4.9.5 For the purposes of the Book of Reference (Document Reference 4.3), the limits were then adjusted to include all of any building partially covered within the above Land Referencing Limits.

4.9.6 In January 2016 environmental surveys highlighted properties that were deemed significantly affected and therefore may have a “relevant claim” as a Category 3 interest. The Land Referencing Limits were then reduced from the full 300m buffer to include only those properties that the Applicant believed would or might be entitled to make a relevant claim.

4.10 Desktop Referencing - HM Land Registry

4.10.1 Land Registry data was received in the form of a digital shape file (a GIS layer) and digital copies of the Official Copy Registers and Title Plans. All relevant freehold, leasehold, mortgagee, beneficiary, other charges and restrictive covenant information was extracted and stored in a land referencing database.

4.10.2 From this data, landownership parcels were created. The landownership parcels were drawn to reflect unique ownership information and stored spatially on a GIS application.

4.10.3 Where land was not registered, additional parcels to complete these gaps were created based on OS mapping and site data. As a result all land within Land Referencing Limits was parcelled and given unique reference numbers.

4.10.4 Periodic updates were provided by Land Registry and this ensured that any changes that occurred to title were captured. Such updates were made prior to Section 42 consultation and prior to the submission of the Book of

Page 39 of 232

Silvertown Tunnel



Reference (Document Reference 4.3) as part of the application documentation.

4.11 Major Land Owners (MLOs)

4.11.1 Land interest information was requested from MLOs, including local authorities, statutory utilities and other landowners with multiple land ownerships including Transport for London, Greater London Authority and other government organisations.

4.11.2 Requests to the Royal Borough of Greenwich, the London Borough of Newham and the London Borough of Tower Hamlets were also made to access the councils’ land ownership terrier mapping; information regarding public highways and private roads; information about special category land (including open space, commons, fuel and field garden allotments); and any information relating to extant planning permissions which may alter the ownership of a land parcel and known future public and privately funded developments, where relevant. Information was received in a variety of formats and entered into the GIS as appropriate. Where necessary, further enquiries were made to address any changes, anomalies or gaps.

4.11.3 Statutory utilities that were believed to have a possible interest in the area were contacted to identify their interests. Information received was entered into the GIS as appropriate and where necessary further enquiries were made to address changes, anomalies or gaps.

4.11.4 Any existing information or stakeholder data gained by the project as a result of property negotiation or Section 42 consultation was incorporated accordingly.

4.12 Other land referencing activities

4.12.1 Desktop studies were carried out in order to identify open spaces and rights of way within referencing limits. Publicly available online mapping was used to identify these and further research was employed to identify ownership. This information was stored in the land referencing database.

4.12.2 Additional desktop activities were undertaken to confirm information received through site enquiries and Land Registry. Companies House searches were undertaken to ensure registered companies’ details were verified and provided the appropriate address for service of notices and other correspondence. Quick Address Search (QAS) checks were carried out on all properties to verify information.

Page 40 of 232

Silvertown Tunnel



4.12.3 Information obtained through desk top research was supplemented and/or verified through Land Interest Questionnaires ("LIQs"), which included requests for information about a recipient’s own interests, associated third party interests and the spatial extent of land or property. Where LIQs were returned to the Applicant with updated information regarding an owner, tenant/lessee, occupier or other party, the information provided was used to update the land referencing database and GIS. Where returns to LIQs were not provided, follow up site visits were made. Observational site visits were also made as part of the land referencing process, to inform the Applicant's understanding of the nature and current use of land within the Order limits. All information secured was recorded in the land referencing database and GIS.

5. PURPOSE FOR WHICH THE COMPULSORY ACQUISITION AND TEMPORARY POSSESSION POWERS ARE SOUGHT

5.1 Statement of the overall purpose of seeking powers of compulsory acquisition and temporary possession

5.1.1 In broad terms, the purpose for which compulsory acquisition and temporary possession powers are sought is to enable the Applicant to construct, operate and maintain the Silvertown Tunnel scheme. The need for the Silvertown Tunnel is explained in the Applicant's Case for the Scheme (Document Reference 7.1). For that purpose, it is necessary for the DCO to include a range of compulsory acquisition-related powers (see section 3 of this Statement of Reasons).

5.1.2 Without the powers to acquire rights and interests in land compulsorily (required as explained on a plot by plot basis in Appendix A to this Statement of Reasons), there would be insufficient certainty about the Applicant's ability to deliver the Silvertown Tunnel scheme within the necessary timescale. The Applicant therefore requires such powers to be included in the DCO, notwithstanding the Applicant's efforts (both historical and on-going) to acquire the necessary interests in land and rights over land by agreement (as explained by reference to landholdings in Appendix B to this Statement of Reasons).

5.1.3 The Applicant has been in discussion for a considerable length of time with many of the landowners affected by proposals for the Silvertown Tunnel, with the continuing aim of negotiating to acquire by agreed private treaty the land and rights needed to construct and operate the Scheme.

5.1.4 The Applicant is also seeking powers to create new rights for the protection of the Silvertown Tunnel where the Applicant has, to date, been unable to secure those rights by agreed private treaty.

5.1.5 Due to the nature of the design process and the timing of the consenting process, the Applicant requires a degree of flexibility as to where certain sections of the Silvertown Tunnel can be constructed within the defined limits of deviation which are provided for in the draft Order. Whilst the Applicant has already carried out extensive survey and investigation works as part of the route selection process and in preparation for the preliminary design

Page 43 of 232

Silvertown Tunnel



work, further investigative works and detailed design work will not be carried out until such time as development consent has been granted (should the application be successful). Therefore, there is a need for limited flexibility (to ensure that the tunnel can be constructed without impediment) within the Order limits. At this stage, all the land included in the Order land is considered to be necessary to enable the delivery of the Scheme; however, should it transpire that any part of the Order land is not required, for instance as a result of the detailed design process in due course or because a parcel of land has been acquired by agreement as a result of successful negotiations, in those circumstances compulsory acquisition powers would not be exercised in respect of such land because such exercise would not be necessary or justified.

5.1.6 The degree of flexibility described above would allow the contractor (to be appointed in due course, should development consent be granted and the DCO made), to carry out the detailed design of the Scheme taking into account any constraints revealed through further investigation of, and survey work on, land below the surface (subsoil) and/or land below the River Thames.

5.1.7 The Applicant requires powers to acquire land and new rights, and to possess and use land temporarily, at surface level for the parts of the Scheme where new highway would be constructed at grade, or where existing highway would be improved. The Applicant's requirements differ in relation to the parts of the Scheme which comprise the tunnel. For the tunnel, the Applicant seeks powers to acquire compulsorily subsoil, to the extent necessary to construct, operate and maintain the tunnel. The Applicant therefore requires the subsoil within which the tunnel would lie, together with a 'layer' of additional subsoil around the tunnel itself; the additional layer would form a protective barrier around the tunnel; it is shown Figure 5-1below, where it is labelled as the 'exclusion zone'. As Figure 5-1 shows, the exclusion zone would extend around the tunnel for a distance of 3 metres, with the exception of the area directly above the tunnel, where the exclusion zone would extend upwards for a distance of 6 metres.

5.1.8 In addition, the Applicant seeks powers to acquire compulsorily new rights over the subsoil above the tunnel (and its exclusion zone), up to and including the surface of the land above. The purpose for which such new rights are sought is to enable the Applicant to impose restrictive covenants to secure protection of the tunnel from potentially conflicting future development. The restrictive covenants, which would be imposed upon implementation of the powers of compulsory acquisition (should such powers

Page 44 of 232

Silvertown Tunnel



be granted in the DCO) would require consultation with the Applicant in respect of any proposals for development at or below surface level within the relevant land (identified in Schedule 6 to the DCO), and referred to hereafter as the 'zone of protection' (as indicated in Figure 5-1 below).

Figure 5-1 Zone of Protection

5.1.9 In certain circumstances future development may be allowed which derives support from foundation elements founded within the exclusion zone. This will allow the Applicant to limit the area around the bored tunnel and cut-and-cover structures where powers are required for the protective exclusion zone, minimizing the limitation on land above the tunnels which is available for development.

5.1.10 Where the distance between outer faces of separate cut-and-cover or bored tunnels is greater than 6m, consideration may be given to permitting future development to occupy part of this interstitial zone, providing:-

Page 45 of 232

Silvertown Tunnel



• No part of the proposed future development is within 3m of a vertical line from the face of a final tunnel or substructure location (i.e. a horizontal 3m zone of protection remains beyond the face of each cut-and-cover or bored tunnel structure).

• Any developer wishing to exploit this arrangement must analytically demonstrate that the effects of installation and loading through all stages of the development, do not put the safety or integrity of the tunnels at risk.

5.1.11 The restrictive covenants would require any person or body proposing to carry out such development within the zone of protection to enter into a 'build-over agreement' with the Applicant. This would be in accordance with the Applicant's current practice in relation to the Blackwall Tunnel, in relation to which build-over agreements in connection with prospective development are based on a prescribed form of build-over agreement set out in a Schedule to an Agreement dated 14 February 2006 between the Applicant and the Urban Regeneration Agency, to which the Greater London Authority is the successor body.

5.1.12 In addition to the powers to acquire land (subsoil) and new rights (restrictive covenants), the Applicant seeks powers to create and acquire new rights for the purpose of carrying out permanent diversions of statutory undertakers' apparatus, and powers of temporary possession to enable it to carry out temporary diversions and other authorised works (pursuant to Schedule 1 of the DCO) during the construction of the Scheme.

5.1.13 For the parts of the Scheme which comprise the tunnel boring machine launch chambers with head houses above, and the 'cut and cover' parts of the tunnel (i.e. the parts of the tunnel between the tunnel boring machine launch chambers and the tunnel portals), and the parts which comprise the tunnel portals with ground slabs and retaining walls below and tunnel service buildings above, the Applicant seeks powers to acquire compulsorily land comprising subsoil up to and including the surface of the land, together with surface land and airspace above.

5.1.14 In the context of the land requirements outlined above, it follows that many of the plots of land within the Order limits would be required for a number of different purposes at different levels in, on, under or above the surface of the land; and that, accordingly, the Applicant would require a combination of powers, to acquire land and new rights compulsorily, and to use and possess land temporarily.

5.2 Explanation of the specific purpose(s) for which each parcel of land is required

5.2.1 The specific purposes for which the Applicant requires each parcel of land within the Order limits is set out in Appendix A to this Statement of Reasons.

Scope and content of Appendix A

5.2.2 The first column of the table in Appendix A refers to the plot numbers used in the Land Plans (Document Reference 2.3]) and Book of Reference (Document Reference 4.3) to identify plots of land within the Order limits.

5.2.3 The second column in the table identifies and describes, in summary terms, the actual purpose for which each plot of land is proposed to be acquired or used.

5.2.4 The third column in the table states the relevant Work Number for the purpose of which the plot of land is required. The Work Number ('Work No') is the identification number (e.g. Work No.1; or Work No.5; or Work No.3 of a particular element of the proposed development which, if the DCO were made by the Secretary of State, would be authorised - such authorised development being described and numbered in Schedule 1 to the DCO (Document Reference 3.1).

5.2.5 The fourth column in the table cites the relevant article(s) in the draft DCO, being the source of the power(s) sought in respect of the plot of land.

5.2.6 The fifth column includes (where relevant) a reference to the Schedule in the draft DCO in which the plot is listed as being required (e.g. required only for the acquisition of subsoil and rights above; or for the acquisition of new rights only; or for temporary possession only). The tables in Appendix 1 should therefore be read in conjunction with the Land Plans and Book of Reference for an understanding of the plot numbers, and with the Works Plans (Document Reference 2.5) and Schedule 1 to the DCO (Document Reference 3.1) for an understanding of the Work Numbers.

5.2.7 In addition, Schedule 4 to the draft DCO includes details of all the plots over which new rights are proposed to be created and acquired; Schedule 6 includes details of all the plots in which subsoil and new rights above are proposed to be acquired; and Schedule 7 to the draft DCO includes details of all the plots over which powers of temporary use and possession are sought. Schedule 7 (temporary possession) sets out, on a plot by plot basis, details of the purposes for which powers of temporary possession are required by the Applicant to construct, operate and maintain the Scheme.

5.3 Guide to DCO documentation

5.3.1 The Introduction (Chapter 1) to this Statement of Reasons provides a step by step guide to enable a person with an interest in land affected by the Scheme to use the DCO documentation to find out how the Applicant's proposals may affect the land in which they have an interest. Please see that guide for information about how to navigate between the various DCO documents such as the Land Plans (Document Reference 2.3), the Book of Reference (Document Reference 4.3)), this Statement of Reasons) (in particular Appendix A of this Statement) and the draft Development Consent Order ('DCO') (Document Reference 3.1).

6. JUSTIFICATION FOR SEEKING POWERS OF COMPULSORY ACQUISITION AND TEMPORARY POSSESSION

6.1 Introduction

6.1.1 This chapter sets out the conditions which must be met for compulsory acquisition powers to be granted under the Act and explains how the Scheme meets these conditions. It sets out the case for constructing and operating the Silvertown Tunnel scheme and the alternatives which were considered as the Scheme which is the subject of the Application evolved. It then sets out proposals for ensuring fair compensation and certainty of funding.

6.2 Compulsory acquisition powers subject to the conditions in section 122 of the Planning Act 2008 being met

6.2.1 Section 122 of the Planning Act 2008 provides that an order granting development consent (i.e. a DCO) may only authorise compulsory acquisition if the Secretary of State, in his capacity as decision-maker, is satisfied that two conditions have been met.

6.2.2 The first of those two conditions (which is set out in section 122(2)) requires one or more of the following three criteria to be met:

• that the land is required for the development to which the development consent relates;

• that the land is required to facilitate, or is incidental to, that development; or

• is replacement land which is to be given in exchange for the order land under section 131 or 132.

6.2.3 The second condition (set out in section 122(3)) is that there is a compelling case in the public interest for the land to be acquired compulsorily.

Page 50 of 232

Silvertown Tunnel



6.3 Matters on which the Secretary of State must be satisfied, before making a DCO including powers of compulsory acquisition:

6.3.1 The Secretary of State must be satisfied (before making the DCO) that the land identified within the Order limits is needed for the development and no more land is proposed to be taken than is reasonably required.

6.3.2 Planning Act 2008: DCLG Guidance related to procedures for the compulsory acquisition of land (issued in September 2013) ('the 2013 DCLG Guidance') makes it clear (at paragraph 11) that, in order for the first of the three above-mentioned statutory criteria to be met, an applicant for development consent should be able to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Secretary of State that the land in question is needed for the development for which consent is sought. The 2013 DCLG Guidance explains that the Secretary of State will need to be satisfied that the land to be acquired is no more than is reasonably required for the purposes of the development.

6.3.3 The 2013 DCLG Guidance also explains (at paragraph 11) that for the second of these three criteria to be met, the Secretary of State would need to be satisfied that the development could only be delivered to a satisfactory standard if the land in question were to be compulsorily acquired (assuming it could not be acquired by agreement), and that the land to be taken is no more than is reasonably necessary for that purpose, and that the purpose is proportionate.

6.3.4 For the reasons set out in this Statement of Reasons, the Applicant considers that the conditions in section 122 are met, in that, firstly, there is a compelling case in the public interest for the construction and operation of the Scheme which would justify the compulsory acquisition of land identified in the draft DCO. Secondly, the Applicant considers that there are sound reasons why the Secretary of State can be satisfied that the land identified within the Order limits is needed for the development comprising the Scheme; that no more land is proposed to be acquired than is reasonably required for the purposes of the Scheme; and that the Scheme could only be delivered to a satisfactory standard within a reasonable timescale if the powers of compulsory acquisition sought in the draft DCO were granted to the Applicant.

6.3.5 Chapter 11 below sets out in detail special considerations affecting the Order land, but for the purposes of the conditions in section 122 on which the Secretary of State must be satisfied, the Applicant considers that the giving of replacement land under sections 131 or 132 of the Act, in exchange

Page 51 of 232

Silvertown Tunnel



for special category land within the Order limits, is not necessary in relation to the Scheme.

6.4 Requirement for the DCO land (section 122(2))

6.4.1 The Applicant has a clear idea of how the land is intended to be used. In order to assist the Secretary of State in determining whether the first of the above-mentioned conditions is met, this Statement of Reasons sets out – at Appendix A – the particular purposes for which each plot of land is proposed to be compulsorily acquired or used temporarily. The table in Appendix A demonstrates, as advocated by the 2013 DCLG Guidance (at paragraph 9), that the Applicant has "a clear idea of how [it intends] to use the land which [it proposes] to acquire." The Applicant has included within the Order limits no more land than is reasonably required for the purposes described in the table in Appendix A, such that its proposed use of land, for the purpose of delivering the Scheme, is proportionate and justifiable.

6.4.2 In making the application for the draft DCO, including the seeking of powers to acquire land compulsorily and to use land temporarily, the Applicant has had regard to the relevant provisions of the European Convention on Human Rights (see Chapter 9 below).

6.4.3 In particular, as is explained in detail in Chapter 9 of this Statement of Reasons, the Applicant has given consideration to the purposes for which the land is required, namely the delivery of the Scheme, in the context of the provisions of Article 1 of the First Protocol to the European Convention on Human Rights and Article 8 of the Convention. The particular reasons why the proposed acquisition of land and interference with private property rights are considered to be legitimate and proportionate, and therefore justified, are set out in section 9 below, and are matters on which the Secretary of State will need to be satisfied in deciding whether powers of compulsory acquisition should be included in any grant of development consent for the Scheme.

6.4.4 Together with this Statement of Reasons, the Land Plans (Document Reference 2.3]) and the Book of Reference (Document Reference 4.3) show how and why the land included in the draft DCO is required and how such land would be used. In the case of each plot of land, the powers sought by the Applicant are necessary to deliver the Scheme and are proportionate to the degree of interference with any private rights.

6.4.5 The Applicant is seeking to acquire by agreement land and rights in land for the purposes of the Scheme, and will continue to seek such acquisitions as

Page 52 of 232

Silvertown Tunnel



the application for the DCO is progressed. The Applicant has engaged in extensive consultation and negotiations (as explained in Appendix B to this Statement of Reasons, with all persons with an interest in the relevant land in order to try to avoid the need for compulsory acquisition wherever possible.

6.4.6 The Applicant's approach, which combines genuine attempts to acquire land by agreement with the planning, in parallel, of a compulsory acquisition timetable as a contingency measure, and with taking action to initiate formal compulsory acquisition procedures, is in accordance with the 2013 DCLG Guidance and the recently issued DCLG Guidance on compulsory purchase process and the Crichel Down Rules for the disposal of surplus land acquired by, or under threat of, compulsion (October 2014) ('the 2015 DCLG Guidance').

6.4.7 In the context of the 2013 and the 2015 DCLG Guidance, the Applicant will continue to seek to acquire land by agreement, but will also seek powers of compulsory acquisition through the DCO, with the objective of enabling delivery of the Scheme within a reasonable timescale and within the allocated budget, in the event that this cannot be achieved through acquisition by agreement.

6.4.8 The rationale for including powers of compulsory acquisition in the DCO takes into account the following considerations:

• an option to acquire might be obtained by agreement prior to the making of the DCO, but this would not provide the Applicant with the land itself. The powers of compulsory acquisition would therefore be available should any voluntary agreements fail, and would prevent impediments to implementation of the Scheme arising in the event that a person with an interest in land was unwilling to sell the land or grant the relevant interest in land once the option had been exercised;

• the inclusion in the DCO of all the land required for the Scheme would allow the Applicant to acquire land compulsorily by way of one or more general vesting declarations, which would be in the public interest, in that it would provide an economic, timely and efficient approach to land assembly;

• the use of a general vesting declaration to acquire the land would enable the Applicant to acquire any interests in land the owners of which it had not been possible to identify through diligent inquiry,

Page 53 of 232

Silvertown Tunnel



thereby reducing uncertainty and the risk of impediments arising to the implementation of the Scheme; and

• the use of powers of compulsory acquisition would be in accordance with the 2013 DCLG Guidance, which (at paragraph 25) recommends that,

6.4.9 "Where proposals would entail the compulsory acquisition of many separate plots of land (such as for long, linear schemes) it may not always be practicable to acquire by agreement each plot of land. Where this is the case it is reasonable to include [in a DCO] provision authorising compulsory acquisition covering all the land required at the outset."

6.5 Options Assessment

6.5.1 A detailed options assessment process was carried out in preparing the Scheme proposals; this is set out in more detail within the Case for the Scheme (Document Reference 7.1).

6.5.2 The Applicant has considered a broad range of cross-river transport options including options set out in studies in 20091, options arising from consultation responses and its own recent work. These options can be organised into two broad categories:

• ones which focus on reducing the level of cross-river highway demand, sometimes through the provision of enhanced alternatives (including walking and cycling measures and public transport improvements) and sometimes through direct demand management (such as road user charging); AND

• the provision of new highway infrastructure capacity and/or connections.

6.5.3 No single approach can fully address all of the three identified transport problems of congestion, closures and a lack of resilience at the Blackwall

Silvertown Tunnel



Tunnel. Congestion would best be managed through price-based demand management, closures would benefit from both demand management and enhancements to the network, while resilience can only be delivered efficiently through enhancing the road network. Options which rely solely on demand management either through road user charging, public transport, or a combination of the two cannot fully address the Blackwall Tunnel’s problems.

6.5.4 Hence, blended solutions, combining the effective aspects of highway enhancements and demand management represent the only effective solutions to the problems of the Blackwall Tunnel. An additional consideration here is the need to assure benefits in the longer-term, which a charge would enable. With this outcome in mind, a highway crossing with a user charge emerges as the best strategic option.

6.5.5 Some of the options considered have strong merits in themselves, but are not the best-performing options for the problems identified at the Blackwall Tunnel. Indeed, some of these options have been taken up within the wider River Crossings Programme and have either been achieved implemented or are in progress. The presentation of the Silvertown Tunnel Scheme – both as a single project and as part of the River Crossings Programme – is reflected in the early consultations which focused on the scheme as part of the package.

6.5.6 As a result of this first stage of options appraisal carried out between 2009 and 2010, policies were set out in the Mayor’s Transport Strategy (MTS) and the London Plan which support a Silvertown crossing within a River Crossings package, and also consider the need to charge for river crossings in order to manage demand and pay for the schemes. Both the MTS and the London Plan were subject to statutory consultation and the policies refined as a consequence.

6.5.7 Road-based fixed link options at Silvertown were assessed by TfL and the results summarised in a number of studies in 2010 and 20112. It should be noted that several workstreams continued in parallel: options for this fixed

Silvertown Tunnel



link; options for other parts of the River Crossings package; and more detailed work on the feasibility of a tunnel.

6.5.8 Under the fixed link, options included a Blackwall Tunnel third bore; refurbishment of the Blackwall Tunnel; a fixed bridge at Silvertown; a lifting bridge at Silvertown; an immersed tube tunnel at Silvertown; and a bored tunnel at Silvertown as well as a more detailed assessment of the alignment of a potential tunnel.

6.5.9 The current London Plan was published in 2011, and an updated version (consolidated with alterations) was published in March 2015. The current London Plan3, the Economic Development Strategy (EDS) and the Mayor’s Transport Strategy (MTS)4 were developed in tandem using the same evidence base over the broad period of 2009-2011, following the election of Boris Johnson in May 2008. However, there is more than a year between the publication of the MTS and the London Plan and this is reflected in their different references to what became the present Scheme, which was informed by the options appraisals in progress at the time. The MTS specifies a new fixed link at Silvertown and the London Plan specifies a road-based tunnel.

The process of site and route selection

6.5.10 A detailed assessment process was undertaken to identify the land and rights needed to implement the Scheme. A number of engineering and design alternatives were considered and landowner negotiations were ongoing and influenced the process. A synopsis of these negotiations is set out in Appendix B. The need for flexibility was taken into account along with the need to reduce the land required for the Scheme as far as possible in order to minimise its impact on surrounding land uses.

Compensation and Certainty of Funding

6.5.11 There is a reasonable prospect of the requisite funds for the acquisition of the relevant land required and for the construction and operation of the Scheme becoming available in the programme timescale.

6.5.12 The Funding Statement for the Scheme (Document Reference 4.2) sets out, in accordance with the recommendation in the 2013 DCLG Guidance (at

3 http://www.london.gov.uk/priorities/planning/london-plan 4 https://www.london.gov.uk/priorities/transport/publications/mayors-transport-strategy

Page 56 of 232

Silvertown Tunnel



paragraph 9), that there is a "reasonable prospect of the requisite funds for acquisition becoming available" and explains how the Scheme, and the compulsory acquisition of land required to enable its delivery, are proposed to be funded, and how the requisite funding would be made available within a reasonable timescale.

6.6 Compelling case in the public interest

6.6.1 As the 2013 DCLG Guidance makes clear (at paragraph 12), in addition to establishing the purpose for which compulsory acquisition is sought (see above), section 122 of the Planning Act 2008 requires the Secretary of State to be satisfied that there is a compelling case in the public interest for the land included in the DCO to be acquired compulsorily.

6.6.2 For this condition to be met, the Secretary of State will need to be persuaded that there is compelling evidence that the public benefits that would be derived from the compulsory acquisition of land and interests in land for the Scheme will outweigh the private loss that would be suffered by those whose interests in land and/or rights over land are to be acquired. The Silvertown Tunnel aligns with national government policy for roads. As is set out in Chapter 1 to this Statement of Reasons, the Scheme has been designated a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project ("NSIP") by a Section 35 Direction granted by the Secretary of State for Transport (26 June 2012).

6.6.3 The NSIP designation means that the Scheme may only be authorised by means of a DCO made by the Secretary of State under the Planning Act 2008.

6.6.4 The reasons given for the section 35 direction were:

i. London’s importance as an engine for economic growth nationally;

ii. The projected growth of London;

iii. The impact of congestion at the Blackwall Tunnel on the strategic road network; and

iv. The size and nature of the Silvertown Tunnel and comparison to other NSIPs.

6.6.5 DCO applications must be determined in accordance with the relevant National Policy Statement (“NPS”). For highway schemes, the relevant NPS is the NPS on National Networks (December 2014) (“NNNPS”). The Secretary of State will use the NNNPS policy as determinative of the merits of the DCO application in the absence of compelling reasons to the contrary.

Page 57 of 232

Silvertown Tunnel



The Scheme has been developed to meet, and meets, the relevant policy objectives of the NNNPS. The Planning Policy Compliance Statement sets this out in detail (Document Reference 7.2).

6.6.6 The Silvertown Tunnel scheme is intended to address three specific transport problems which are manifest at the Blackwall Tunnel, as well as to support (and respond to) the wider context of transformational growth in the surrounding boroughs.

6.6.7 The first problem is a very high level of congestion which is experienced routinely at peak times and frequently at other times, a result of the fact that the crossing is one of only three within London east of Tower Bridge, and directly links strategic roads north and south of the Thames in east London. This congestion is amongst the worst in London and affects both individuals and businesses, and those travelling by bus and coach as well as private transport.

6.6.8 The second is the susceptibility of the Blackwall Tunnel to incidents and closures, which occur over 1,000 times every year and lead to this section of the Transport for London Road Network (TLRN) having the worst levels of reliability across London. Around half of these closures occur when drivers of taller HGVs fail to heed warnings about the sub-standard height of the Blackwall Tunnel’s northbound bore. The height limit also prevents the use of standard double deck buses on the route which currently uses the tunnel.

6.6.9 The closure of the tunnel exacerbates delays and also exposes the third problem, the lack of resilience in the network in this location. To reach the nearest alternative crossing points, which are themselves capacity-constrained, drivers must take extensive diversions, often along unsuitable routes. This means that even brief closures of the tunnel can lead to pronounced increases in congestion. Meanwhile, prolonged closures have effects across the road network of south-east London and beyond, affecting all road users by exposing others road users to traffic and congestion related disbenefits.

6.6.10 In light of the very significant levels of growth anticipated in the area around the Blackwall Tunnel (both north and south of the river), which comprises London’s greatest concentration of developable land and is already the site of significant growth, the urgency of addressing these problems only increases. Forecasts anticipate a further increase in the share of trips being made by public transport, and TfL is investing heavily in schemes which facilitate this – but population and employment growth on this scale means that some increase in highway travel is inevitable.

Page 58 of 232

Silvertown Tunnel



6.6.11 Specific project objectives were identified with reference to the transport problems described above, and also draw from the National Policy Statement for National Networks, Mayoral policy as defined in the London Plan and Mayor’s Transport Strategy (MTS), and further scheme development work. The following project objectives have been adopted:

• 1: to improve the resilience of the river crossings in the highway network in east and southeast London to cope with planned and unplanned events and incidents;

• 2: to improve the road network performance of the Blackwall Tunnel and its approach roads;

• 3: to support economic and population growth, in particular in east and southeast London by providing improved cross-river transport links;

• 4: to integrate with local and strategic land use policies;

• 5: to minimise any adverse impacts of any proposals on communities, health, safety and the environment;

• 6: to ensure where possible that any proposals are acceptable in principle to key stakeholders, including affected boroughs; and

• 7: to achieve value for money and, through road user charging, to manage congestion.

6.6.12 NB: Appendix A of the ‘Case for the Scheme’ document contains an appraisal of all scheme options against the above project objectives.

6.6.13 The proposed acquisition of land is legitimate, necessary and proportionate.

6.6.14 The need for the Scheme has been established in the need case (set out in the Case for the Scheme (Document Reference 7.1)) and is underpinned by the Direction issued on 26 June 2012 by the then Secretary of State under section 35 of the Planning Act 2008, which provides for the Silvertown Tunnel to be treated as development for which development consent (under the Planning Act 2008) is required, on the basis that it is a project of national significance, for the reasons set out in the Annex to that Direction. As such, the benefits in the public interest, which are anticipated to arise from the Silvertown Tunnel scheme, are of national significance and would, accordingly, be on a scale outweighing the individual private loss suffered by parties whose interests in land were interfered with in order to enable the delivery of the Scheme. The proposed acquisition of and interference with land is therefore legitimate, necessary and proportionate in principle.

6.6.15 Steps have been taken by the Applicant to ensure – on a more fine-grained basis – that the land and interests in land which are proposed to be acquired

Page 59 of 232

Silvertown Tunnel



are necessary and proportionate. For example, the Silvertown Tunnel Options Study (November 2013) assessed alternative options for delivering the tunnel, but found that the acquisition of land owned by third parties was unavoidable if the optimum Scheme was to be delivered; and the Order limits have been drawn as tightly as possible, and with detailed consideration of the layout, boundaries and ownership of land, to avoid any unnecessary interference with or extinguishment of third party rights.

6.6.16 Accordingly, as contemplated by the Planning Act 2008, and in particular by section 122(3), if powers of compulsory acquisition were included in any DCO granted for the Silvertown Tunnel scheme, the use of such powers would be legitimate, necessary and proportionate for the purposes of constructing and operating the Scheme in the public interest; and in satisfaction of the conditions in section 122 of the 2008 Act. Without the power to acquire compulsorily the necessary interests in and rights over land, the Applicant would be unable to guarantee the delivery of the Scheme. Therefore, for all of the reasons set out above, the Applicant seeks the inclusion, in the DCO, of powers of compulsory acquisition.

7. COMMUNICATIONS AND NEGOTIATIONS

WITH OWNERS OF INTERESTS IN LAND 7.1 Consultation

7.1.1 As noted in the Consultation Report (Document Reference 5.1), all parties consulted pursuant to section 42 of the Act were identified through diligent inquiry (as set out in Chapter 4 of this Statement of Reasons), and are included in the Book of Reference (Document Reference 4.3). They include all owners, occupiers and other persons with an interest (including mortgagees) in any land affected by the Scheme.

7.2 Current position in relation to engagement and negotiations

7.2.1 The current position in relation to the Applicant’s engagement and negotiations with each land owner affected by the Scheme is explained in Appendix B. Detailed discussions are ongoing with landowners and occupiers in order to ensure that their concerns are taken into account and accommodated wherever possible. Negotiations are continuing with landowners and persons with interests in land affected by the Scheme. The Applicant acknowledges that it is under a duty to acquire land at best value but also that it is required to deliver the Scheme within a reasonable time frame in the public interest. The Applicant has therefore concluded that acquisition by agreement may not be achievable in all cases within a reasonable time frame or in any event, within the timescales necessary to ensure that the programme for the construction of the Scheme would be met. There are also cases where the ownership of land is unknown, and where it would therefore not be possible to acquire the interest except by way of compulsory acquisition.

7.2.2 Land already owned by the Applicant (i.e. highway land) is included in the Order limits in order to ensure that no known or unknown third party rights subsisting over such land can remain and impede the proper implementation of the Scheme.

7.2.3 In addition to the owners, lessees, tenants and occupiers mentioned in Appendix B to this Statement, other parties including mortgagees and those with known rights in relation to the Order land, have not been included in Appendix B. They are, however, identified in the Book of Reference (Document Reference 4.3) submitted in support of the Application for the DCO for the Scheme and were included in the consultations on the Scheme.

Silvertown Tunnel



7.2.4 The Applicant is aware of the requirement (which is noted in the 2013 DCLG Guidance, at paragraph 25) to seek to acquire land by negotiation wherever practicable, and recognises that powers to acquire land compulsorily should only be exercised if reasonable attempts to acquire by agreement fail. However, the Applicant notes that the 2013 DCLG Guidance (again, at paragraph 25), also recognises that where proposals for long linear schemes (such as the Scheme to which this Statement relates) would entail the compulsory acquisition of many separate plots of land, it may not always be practicable to acquire each plot of land by negotiated agreement. As the 2013 DCLG Guidance states, "Where this is the case, it is reasonable to include provision authorising compulsory acquisition covering all the land required at the outset."

7.2.5 The Applicant has informed all those with an interest in the land of its willingness to negotiate to acquire the land by agreement, and to invite dialogue along those lines. As a result, the Applicant is in the process of engaging with a significant proportion of landowners affected by the Scheme with regard to the acquisition of their land / interests in land by agreement; and negotiations with this objective in mind will be continuing throughout the DCO examination process.

8. IMPACTS ON STATUTORY UNDERTAKERS 8.1 Statutory undertakers affected by the Scheme

8.1.1 Appendix D to this Statement of Reasons contains a list of statutory undertakers and other similar bodies which have, or which may have, a right to keep equipment (in connection with their undertaking) on, in or over the land required for the Scheme.

8.2 Application of section 127 of the Planning Act 2008 – acquisition of land owned by statutory undertakers for the purposes of their undertaking

8.2.1 Section 127 of the Planning Act 2008 applies to land5 acquired by statutory undertakers for the purposes of their undertaking, and places restrictions on the compulsory acquisition of such land, where a representation is made by a statutory undertaker in relation to a DCO application and is not withdrawn by the close of the examination of that application. The draft DCO for the Scheme includes provision to authorise the compulsory acquisition of land and rights held by statutory undertakers for the purposes of their undertaking.

8.2.2 Section 127(2) provides that a DCO may include provisions authorising the compulsory acquisition of statutory undertakers' land only to the extent that the Secretary of State is satisfied of the matters set out in subsection 127(3), which are that the nature and situation of the statutory undertaker's land is such that:

• it can be purchased and not replaced without serious detriment to the carrying on of the undertaking; or

• if purchased, it can be replaced by other land belonging to, or available for acquisition by, the undertakers without serious detriment to the carrying on of the undertaking.

8.2.3 Section 127(5) provides that a DCO may include provisions authorising the compulsory acquisition of a right over statutory undertakers' land by the creation of a new right over land only to the extent that the Secretary of State

5 In this context, the definition of 'land' includes rights in land, such as rights to keep apparatus installed in, on, under or over land.

Page 64 of 232

Silvertown Tunnel



is satisfied of the matters set out in subsection 127(6), which are that the nature and situation of the land are such that:

• the right can be purchased without serious detriment to the carrying on of the undertaking, or

• any detriment to the carrying on of the undertaking, in consequence of the acquisition of the right, can be made good by the undertakers by the use of other land belonging to, or available for acquisition by, them.

8.2.4 The Applicant recognises that where section 127 applies to land or rights which are required to be acquired to enable the delivery of the Scheme, and the statutory undertaker which owns such land or right(s) makes a representation to the Secretary of State in relation to the draft DCO and does not withdraw that representation before the completion of the examination into the application, the Applicant would be required to seek confirmation that the Secretary of State was satisfied of the matters set out in subsections 127(3) and 127(6).

8.2.5 The 2013 DCLG Guidance advises that an undertaker proposing compulsory acquisition of statutory undertakers' land should consider an application to the relevant Minister in the Government Department overseeing its utility in advance of the submission of an application for a Development Consent Order.

8.2.6 The Applicant has not made any approaches to relevant Ministers at this time, but is in consultation with each of the statutory undertakers identified in the paragraphs below, and expects to reach agreement with them (regarding the effects of the Scheme on their land and/or apparatus, and the need for and terms of any protective provisions) prior to the close of the examination of the Application.

8.2.7 The Applicant will continue to review the need for section 127 procedures to be engaged and, following receipt of any relevant representations on the application for development consent for the Scheme, will identify whether any statutory undertakers have made a representation and, in the event that they have, would consider the need to make an application to the relevant Minister for certification pursuant to section 127 of the Planning Act 2008.

8.2.8 In the Application, and for the purposes of the Scheme, the Applicant proposes to acquire land from a number of statutory undertakers, as listed below (see paragraph 8.4).

Page 65 of 232

Silvertown Tunnel



8.2.9 The Applicant anticipates that its negotiations with statutory undertakers will be documented in Statements of Common Ground, and will provide a basis for the inclusion in the draft DCO of bespoke protective provisions. As such, the Applicant expects to achieve an agreed and satisfactory position with each of the below-mentioned statutory undertakers prior to the close of the examination period.

8.3 Application of section 138 of the Planning Act 2008 – interference with apparatus owned by statutory undertakers for the purposes of their undertaking

8.3.1 Section 138 of the Planning Act 2008 applies where a DCO authorises the acquisition of land (compulsorily or by agreement) and there subsists over the land a relevant right, or there is relevant apparatus on, under or over the land.

8.3.2 For the purposes of section 138:

• a 'relevant right' means a right of way, or a right of laying down, erecting, continuing or maintaining apparatus on, under or over the land which is vested in or belongs to statutory undertakers for the purpose of carrying on their undertaking, or which is conferred on a telecommunications code operator; and

• 'relevant apparatus' means apparatus vested in or belonging to statutory undertakers for the purpose of the carrying out of their undertaking, or electronic communications apparatus kept installed for the purposes of an electronic communications code network.

8.3.3 A DCO may only include provision for the extinguishment of the relevant right, or the removal of the relevant apparatus, if the Secretary of State is satisfied that the extinguishment or removal is necessary for the purpose of carrying out the development to which the DCO relates.

8.3.4 The draft DCO for the Scheme includes provision to authorise interference by the Applicant with the apparatus of statutory undertakers, in connection with the delivery of the Scheme as detailed in the remaining paragraphs of this section.

8.3.5 The utilities listed in the following paragraphs are affected by the Scheme in that their services would be required to be diverted or re-aligned. The Scheme may also affect existing minor private utility supplies or services, such as telecommunications cables which it is anticipated may need to be diverted within the highway boundary. Utility diversion works are proposed

9. HUMAN RIGHTS 9.1 Application of the European Convention on Human Rights

9.1.1 The Human Rights Act 1998 incorporated into domestic law the European Convention on Human Rights ('the Convention'). The Convention includes provisions in the form of Articles ('the Convention rights'), the aim of which is to protect the rights of the individual and his possessions.

9.1.2 The following Convention rights are relevant to the Secretary of State's decision as to whether or not there is a compelling case for the DCO to be made in a form that includes powers authorising the compulsory acquisition of land and interests in land:

• Article 6 entitles those affected by the powers sought in a DCO to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal.

• Article 8 protects the right of the individual to respect for his private and family life, his home and his correspondence. A public authority cannot interfere with these interests unless such interference is in accordance with the law and is necessary in the interests of, among other things, national security, public safety or the economic wellbeing of the country.

• Article 1 of the First Protocol protects the right of everyone to peaceful enjoyment of possessions. No one can be deprived of their possessions except in the public interest and subject to the relevant national and international laws. As with Article 8, any interference with possessions must be proportionate and in determining whether a particular measure is proportionate a fair balance must be struck between the public benefit sought and the interference with the private rights in question.

9.1.3 If made in a form that includes powers of compulsory acquisition, the DCO would enable the Applicant to infringe the human rights of persons with an interest in the land that would be affected by the Scheme. Such infringement is authorised by law provided that:

• the statutory procedures for obtaining the DCO are followed and there is a compelling case in the public interest for the inclusion of powers of compulsory acquisition in the DCO; and

Page 74 of 232

Silvertown Tunnel



• any interference with a Convention right is proportionate to the legitimate aim served.

9.2 Compliance with the Convention and with the Human Rights Act 1998

9.2.1 As described in detail in Section 5 of this Statement of Reasons (see above), the land and interests in land affected by the Scheme are required for (or are incidental to) the public purposes of the DCO. Without the powers to acquire the relevant land and interests in land, the Scheme cannot be delivered. Whilst the Applicant intends to acquire land by agreement wherever practicable, powers are required in the DCO to enable the Applicant to acquire land and interests in land compulsorily as a means of overriding existing rights over and/or interests in land, as well as creating new rights over land, and using and taking possession of land needed on a temporary basis.

9.2.2 The Application is supported by Land Plans (Document Reference 2.3) and Works Plans (Document Reference 2.5). The Land Plans show the extent of the land required for the Scheme. The Works Plans show the authorised works that would be carried out on the land if development consent was granted. This Statement of Reasons explains (at Appendix A) how the Works (if authorised by the DCO) would affect each plot of land.

9.2.3 The Applicant has considered the potential for the infringement of Convention rights in consequence of the exercise of compulsory acquisition powers, should such powers be included in the DCO. As is explained above (in section 6 of this Statement of Reasons) the land which is proposed to be acquired for the Scheme is the minimum necessary to ensure delivery of the Scheme and any necessary mitigation, and the Order limits have been drawn to minimise interference with the peaceful enjoyment of a person’s possessions under Article 1 of the First Protocol of the Human Rights Act.

9.2.4 The Applicant considers that there would be very significant public benefit arising from the delivery of the Scheme, pursuant to the necessary grant of development consent. That benefit could only be realised if the grant of development consent included the grant of powers of compulsory acquisition. The grant of the powers would accordingly be in the public interest, which would override the private interests of the relevant landowners; further, and in the circumstances, the compulsory acquisition of land and rights would not place a disproportionate burden on the affected land owners, who would be entitled to compensation under the Compensation Code.

Page 75 of 232

Silvertown Tunnel



9.2.5 In relation to Article 6 of the Convention, the DCO process provides the opportunity for members of the public to make representations on the application for development consent. In accordance with Part 5 of the Planning Act 2008, the Applicant consulted the persons set out in sections 42 and 44 of the Planning Act 2008. This consultation included all known owners and occupiers of the land and those persons who would or might be entitled to claims either under section 10 of the Compulsory Purchase Act 1965 or section 152(3) of the Planning Act 2008 in respect of injurious affection, or under Part 1 of the Land Compensation Act 1973. Furthermore, the beneficiaries of restrictive covenants and other rights overridden by the exercise of powers in the DCO would have the opportunity to make claims for compensation under section 10 of the Compulsory Purchase Act 1965.

9.2.6 Furthermore, there are opportunities for representations to be made by those potentially affected by the Scheme by way of objections submitted in response to any notice given under section 56 of the Planning Act 2008, and/or during the examination of the application by the examining authority. In addition, further opportunities to make representations would arise from any written representations procedure which the examining authority decides to hold, and, in particular, from any compulsory acquisition hearing held under section 92 of the Planning Act 2008, at which each affected person is entitled to make oral representations (followed up by written submissions) about the Applicant's request for powers of compulsory acquisition.

9.2.7 Ultimately, should the DCO be made by the Secretary of State, a person aggrieved would have the opportunity to challenge the DCO by way of judicial review in the High Court if they considered that the grounds for doing so could be made out pursuant to section 118 of the Planning Act 2008. In relation to disputes about compensation, affected persons would have the right to apply to the Upper Tribunal of the Lands Chamber, which is an independent tribunal.

9.2.8 Therefore, for all the reasons set out above, the Applicant considers that any infringement of the Convention rights of those whose interests in the land might be affected by the exercise of powers of compulsory acquisition would be proportionate and legitimate, would be in the public interest; and would be in accordance with national and European law. The Applicant therefore considers that it would be appropriate and proportionate for the Secretary of State to make the DCO in a form which includes the grant of the compulsory acquisition powers sought by the Applicant in its application for development consent for the Scheme.

9.3 Consideration of duties under the Equality Act 2010

Page 76 of 232

Silvertown Tunnel



9.3.1 The Applicant has complied with its duties under section 149 of the Equality Act 2010 and has had due regard to the need to (i) eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment, victimisation and other conduct prohibited by or under the Equality Act 2010; (ii) advance equality of opportunity between persons who share a relevant protected characteristic and persons who do not share it; and (iii) foster good relations between persons who share a relevant protected characteristic and persons who do not share it. The Applicant has conducted a Health and Equalities Impact Assessment (document reference 6.8, PINS reference APP-090) which explains how it has had regard to its public sector equality duty in the context of the Application for development consent for the Scheme.

10. THE PLANNING POLICY POSITION INCLUDING THE VIEW OF THE GOVERNMENT

10.1 National policy

10.1.1 The Silvertown Tunnel is supported by Government policy. In 2012 it was designated a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) by a Section 35 Direction made by the Secretary of State ("SoS") for Transport.

10.1.2 The reasons given for the Direction were:

• London’s importance as an engine for economic growth nationally;

• The projected growth of London;

• The impact of congestion at the Blackwall tunnel on the strategic road network; and

• The size and nature of the Silvertown Tunnel and comparison to other NSIPs.

10.1.3 Therefore the relevant national policy document that the Scheme must meet in terms of policy compliance is the National Networks National Policy Statement ("NNNPS"). In evaluating the merits of the Scheme the SoS must have regard to the NNNPS.

10.1.4 The Scheme meets the tests of need for the development of national networks set out at the start of chapter 2 of the NNNPS, such as providing transport network capacity, connectivity and resilience.

10.1.5 The Planning Policy Compliance Statement (Document Reference 7.2) sets out in detail how all these tests are met and how the Scheme has been developed in accordance with the NNNPS.

10.2 London policy

10.2.1 Support for the Silvertown Tunnel scheme is to be found in London Plan policy and the Mayor’s Transport Strategy (2010). Policy support for the Scheme has remained throughout successive alterations of the London Plan. In March 2015 the Mayor published (i.e. adopted) the Further Alterations to the London Plan (FALP). Paragraph 6.41 of the 2015 London Plan reiterates the Mayor’s support for proposals to address the congestion

Page 79 of 232

Silvertown Tunnel



at the Blackwall Tunnel and the heavy dependence of drivers on use of the crossing with its restrictions in relation to the size of vehicle that can use the crossing. The congestion at and dependence on the sub-standard Blackwall Tunnel crossing described in paragraph 6.41 are becoming increasingly significant traffic and transport constraints in east London, particularly in the context of the updated forecast economic and population growth for the region since the 2011 revision of the London Plan.

10.3 Local policy

10.3.1 Local planning policy also supports the provision of additional river crossings and the need for the Silvertown Tunnel scheme. The Royal Borough of Greenwich’s Core Strategy policy IM3 states that the Borough will work in partnership to:

“deliver a new package of Thames river crossings in East London including the continued safeguarding of the Silvertown Link Tunnel”.

10.3.2 LB Newham’s Core Strategy policy S1 supports improving connectivity including new river crossings. Policy INF1 states that support will be given to safeguarded river crossings at West Silvertown and Gallions Reach as well as to other river crossings.

10.3.3 Therefore a package of river crossings including a Silvertown Tunnel has planning policy support at national, regional and local authority levels.

11.1.2 There are two areas of open space within the Order limits. Plots 03-037, 03-037b and 03-037c comprise part of an area of land on the west side of highway known as East Parkside, which has recently been landscaped as part of Knight Dragon’s re-development within the Greenwich Peninsula. The area of land of which plots 03-037, 03-037b and 03-037c form part is not designated as open space, nor is it recorded as such within the relevant records of the Council of the Royal Borough of Greenwich. However, due to the potential for recreational use of this land (which incorporates an outdoor auditorium for public use), the Applicant considers that the land in plots 03-037, 03-037b and 03-037c comes within the definition of open space set out in section 131(12) of the Planning Act 2008, which has the same meaning as the definition of open space set out in section 19 of the Acquisition of Land Act 1981, in which, "'open space' means any land laid out as a public garden, or used for the purposes of public recreation, or land being a disused burial ground".

11.1.3 On the east side of West Parkside, there is a further area of land, comprising plots 03-021 and 03-029, which form part of an open air fountain at the western end of an area laid out as parkland and designated as Metropolitan Open Land, lying between highways known as East Parkside and West Parkside. Similarly, these plots are considered by the Applicant to come within the statutory definitions of open space, as referenced above.

11.1.4 Plots 03-021, 03-029, 03-037, 03-037b and 03-037c are shown on the Special Category Land Plan (Document Reference 2.4, revision 1, submitted at Deadline 1 of the Examination) (as well as on the Land Plans (Document Reference 2.3).

11.1.5 . In relation to plots 03-029 and 03-037b, the Applicant seeks powers to acquire compulsorily so much of the subsoil (below and not including surface land) as will be required for so much of the bored section of the tunnel as would pass beneath those plots. In addition, in respect of plots 03-029, 03-037b and 03-037c, the Applicant seeks powers to acquire compulsorily new rights over the subsoil above the tunnel, up to and including the surface of the land above.

11.1.6 In respect of plots 03-021, 03-037 and 03-037c the Applicant seeks powers to acquire compulsorily new rights over the subsoil from the location of the tunnel up to and including the surface of the land above. The purpose for which such new rights are sought is to enable the Applicant to impose restrictive covenants over the land for the protection of the tunnel. The

Page 82 of 232

Silvertown Tunnel



restrictive covenants, which would be imposed upon implementation of the powers of compulsory acquisition (should such powers be granted in the DCO) would require the approval of the Applicant in respect of any proposals for development at or below surface level within the relevant land (identified in Schedules 4 and 6 to the DCO), referred to hereafter as the 'zone of protection'.

11.1.7 In addition, the Applicant would require powers of temporary possession over plots 03-021, 03-029, 03-037, 03-037b and 03-037c for the purpose of carrying out the construction of the authorised development, including remedial or protective works, should any such works be necessary, during construction of the Scheme.

11.1.8 It is the Applicant's view that, in relation to these areas of open space, the nature and future use of the open space will not be incompatible with the Scheme for one or other of the following reasons:

(i) where the Applicant is proposing acquisition, it would only be acquiring subsoil beneath the open space, not the open space itself. Therefore, the land which the Applicant would be acquiring (should compulsory acquisition powers be granted) does not come within the statutory definition of open space and therefore the open space protections in section 131 of the Planning Act 2008 do not apply;

(ii) where the Applicant is proposing to acquire new rights (to impose restrictive covenants over the zone of protection for the tunnel) the exception in subsection 132(3) of the Planning Act 2008 would apply because the order right, if granted, would not be inconsistent with the continuance of the use of this land as public open space; and because the open space, if "burdened with the order right", would be "no less advantageous than it was before to the persons in whom it is vested, other persons, if any, entitled to rights of common or other rights, and to the public" (section 132(3));

(iii) where the Applicant is seeking only powers of temporary possession (e.g. to carry out the authorised development and/or any related remedial or protective works), this is not compulsory acquisition, and as such would not trigger the protections in sections 131 or 132 of the Planning Act 2008.

11.1.9 Accordingly, the Applicant considers that it will not be necessary for the protections in sections 131 and 132 of the Planning Act 2008 to apply in respect of any of the open space identified in the draft DCO as special category land; and it therefore follows that neither should it be necessary for the draft DCO to be subject to Special Parliamentary Procedure.

11.1.10 The Applicant has carried out investigations to ascertain whether or not such parts of the foreshore of the River Thames as are within the Order limits might be considered to be open space. The Applicant's investigations took the form of site surveys carried out in March / April 2016 in the area of the foreshore lying within the proposed Order limits. Four site visits were undertaken on different days and at varying times in order to provide a reasonable understanding of the conditions and usage of the relevant part of the foreshore. The study area was monitored on a bank holiday, a weekday morning, a weekday evening and a weekend, in varying (although generally fair) weather, and at times of low tide, when access to and use of the foreshore would have been most feasible. The availability of public access points facilitating use of the foreshore was also researched, within an area extending 500 metres to the north and 500 metres to the south of the study area.

11.1.11 The survey findings led the Applicant to conclude that no one used the river foreshore within the study area for recreational purposes during times of low tide. There was found to be no public access to the foreshore within 500 metres either side of the study area, and a sign located in the vicinity of the study area prohibited unauthorised access to the foreshore, potentially discouraging use of the area by members of the public. The closest public access point is 900 metres to the south, from which point people would have to cross two obstructions (jetties) to reach the study area. The Applicant has therefore concluded that the area of foreshore lying within the Order limits does not come within the definition of open space and will therefore not engage the protections in sections 131 and 132 of the Planning Act 2008.

11.1.12 The PLA has also expressed the view that this part of the foreshore is not open space.

11.1.13 In the event of any finding that this area of foreshore was open space, the Applicant would require powers of compulsory acquisition in relation to both subsoil and new rights on the same basis as is set out above in relation to plots 03-021, 03-029, 03-037, 03-037b and 03-037c. The Applicant therefore considers that the same exceptions to the requirement for Special Parliamentary Procedure would apply to any part of the foreshore that was considered to be open space. Accordingly, it is not anticipated that Special Parliamentary Procedure will be triggered in relation to the draft DCO for the Scheme.

11.1.14 As regards the listed building (noted in the table above), this is located within plot 02-004, being Blackwall Tunnel Gatehouse. This building will not be

directly affected by the Scheme, but will be monitored so that protective works may be carried out if necessary.

12. OTHER CONSENTS REQUIRED IN RELATION TO THE SCHEME

12.1 Introduction

12.1.1 A Development Consent Order is being sought for the Scheme and this would include powers of compulsory acquisition. However there are a number of other consents required for the Scheme which either the draft DCO does not cover, or in respect of which there is the option for the DCO to be used to dis-apply through section 150 of the Planning Act 2008. These additional consents can only be dis-applied at the absolute discretion of the relevant consenting body and usually only after agreement over protective provisions is reached.

12.2 Additional consents

12.2.1 In relation to the Scheme, the additional consents to be sought or disapplied within the DCO include:

• Marine licence – (under Part 4 of the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009) - a deemed licence is proposed to be included in the DCO (pursuant to section 149A of the Planning Act 2008). The terms of this are subject to ongoing discussions with the Marine Management Organisation ("MMO").

• River works licence – (under section 66 of the Port of London Act 1968) - the Applicant is seeking disapplication of this through the DCO – discussions are on-going in respect of protective provisions to be included in the DCO for the benefit of the subject to the agreement of the Port of London Authority ("PLA").

• Consent (and an environmental permit for ‘flood risk activities’) to erect structures in, over or under a ‘main river’; Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2010); Thames Region Land Drainage Byelaws 1981) – the Applicant is seeking disapplication through the DCO subject to the agreement of the Environment Agency ("EA").

• Consent to obstruct watercourses (s.23 Land Drainage Act 1991) (if required) – the Applicant is seeking disapplication through the DCO subject to agreement of Drainage Boards.

12.2.2 Consents to be sought separately include:

• Protected species licences under the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010; and

• Permits under the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2010 other than for flood risk activities (e.g. for discharges or waste).

Appendix B. COMMUNICATIONS/ NEGOTIATIONS WITH OWNERS OF INTERESTS IN LAND

B.1.1 The tables in this Appendix identify landholdings affected by the Scheme, explain the relationships between owners, tenants/lessees and occupiers, and provide a summary of the Applicant's genuine attempts to enter into and progress negotiations to acquire land or interests in land required for the Scheme by agreement, wherever possible.

B.1.2 Appendix B is set out in a series of tables. Tables B1.1 to B1.11 provide an account of negotiations with land owners in the Royal Borough of Greenwich. Tables B2.1 to B2.12 address negotiations with land owners in the London Borough of Newham.

B.1.3 Each table relates to a particular landowner, and includes details of the landowner's affected plots together with a general description of its land. Each table then includes details of lessees, tenants or occupiers with interests in that land. The status of negotiations with each party is individually set out.

B.1.4 In addition to the owners, lessees, tenants and occupiers mentioned in Appendix B to this Statement, other parties such as mortgage companies, and those with known rights in relation to the Order land, have not been detailed in Appendix B. Similarly, presumed interests in land such as the presumption that land up to the centre point beneath a highway is owned by the frontagers (ad medium filum) have not been detailed in Appendix B. They are, however, identified in the Book of Reference (Document Reference 4.3) submitted in support of the Application for the DCO for the Scheme and were included in the consultation on the Scheme.

B.1.5 The Applicant is aware of the requirement (which is noted in the 2013 DCLG Guidance, at paragraph 25) to seek to acquire land by negotiation wherever practicable, and recognises that authority to acquire land compulsorily should only be sought as part of an order granting development consent if attempts to acquire by agreement fail. However, TfL notes that the 2013 DCLG Guidance (again, at paragraph 25), also recognises that where proposals for long linear schemes (such as the Scheme to which this Statement relates) would entail the compulsory acquisition of many separate plots of land, it may not always be practicable to acquire each plot of land by negotiated agreement. As the 2013 DCLG Guidance states, "Where this is the case, it is reasonable to include provision authorising compulsory acquisition covering all the land required at the outset."

Silvertown Tunnel



B.1.6 Land already owned by the Applicant (i.e. highway land) is included in the Order limits with the aim of enabling the Applicant to ensure that no known or unknown third party rights subsisting over such land can remain and impede the proper implementation of the Scheme.

B.1.7 Though not all featuring in this Appendix B, all affected parties (including mortgage companies) are listed in the Book of Reference and have been consulted.

C.5.26 An existing access (Reference d) to premises (occupied by McGee Group) on the south east side of the existing Scarab Close, would be stopped up from its junction with the existing Scarab Close approximately 35 metres west of the existing Dock Road, for a distance of approximately 10 metres, where it would be crossed by the non-motorised routes between the new Silvertown Tunnel Northern Approach Northbound (Work No. 15 (part)) and the new Dock Road (realigned) (Work No. 18). As this access would no longer be required if the Scheme was implemented, no substitute access proposal is considered necessary.

C.5.27 An existing access (Reference e) to premises (occupied by Hanson Quarry Products Europe Limited) on the north-west side of the existing Dock Road, would be stopped up from its junction with the existing Dock Road approximately 70 metres south-east of the existing Scarab Close, for a distance of approximately 10 metres, where it would be crossed by the new Silvertown Tunnel Northern Approach Southbound (Work No. 15 (part)).

this access would no longer be required if the Scheme was implemented, no substitute access proposal is considered necessary.

C.5.28 An existing access (Reference f) to premises (occupied by Hanson Quarry Products Europe Limited) on the north-west side of the existing Dock Road, would be stopped up from its junction with the existing Dock Road approximately 125 metres south-east from the existing Scarab Close, for a distance of approximately 5 metres, where it would be crossed by the new Silvertown Tunnel Northern Approach Southbound (Work No. 15 (part)). As this access would no longer be required if the Scheme was implemented, no substitute access proposal is considered necessary.

C.5.29 An existing access (Reference g) to premises (occupied by O'Connell Plant and Groundworks Limited) on the north-west side of the existing Dock Road, would be stopped up from its junction with the existing Dock Road approximately 165 metres south-east of the existing Scarab Close, for a distance of approximately 5 metres, where it would be crossed by the new Silvertown Tunnel Northern Approach Southbound (Work No. 15 (part)) and the tunnel services compound (Work No. 17). As this access would no longer be required if the Scheme was implemented, no substitute access proposal is considered necessary.

C.5.30 An existing access (Reference j) to premises (occupied by Docklands Light Railway Limited) on the south west side of the existing Dock Road, would be stopped up from its junction with the existing Dock Road approximately 330 metres south-east of the existing Scarab Close, for a distance of approximately 10 metres, where it would be crossed by the new Dock Road (realigned) (Work No. 18). As this access would no longer be required if the Scheme was implemented, no substitute access proposal is considered necessary.

C.5.31 An existing access (Scarab Close (part)) (Reference k (part)) would be stopped up from a point on the existing Scarab Close approximately 25 metres south-west of its junction with the existing Dock Road, in a south-westerly direction, for a distance of approximately 50 metres, where it would be crossed by the new Dock Road (realigned) (Work No. 18). As this access would no longer be required if the Scheme was implemented, no substitute access proposal is considered necessary.

• Lower Lea Crossing (Work No. 15 (part)) - from a point on the existing A1020 Lower Lea Crossing at the centre point of where the existing A1020 Lower Lea Crossing passes over the existing Docklands Light Railway Woolwich Branch, in a generally south-easterly direction for a distance of approximately 110 metres, to a point where it joins the new part of the Tidal Basin Roundabout (Work No. 16) at a point approximately 115 metres south-west of the centre point of where the existing Tidal Basin Roundabout passes under the existing A1011 Silvertown Way.

• Tidal Basin Roundabout (Work No. 16) - from a point on the new part of the Tidal Basin Roundabout approximately 115 metres south-west of the centre point of where the existing Tidal Basin Roundabout passes under the existing A1011 Silvertown Way in a generally southerly direction for a distance of approximately 55 metres, to its junction with the realigned Dock Road (Work No. 16), at a point approximately 130 metres west of the point where the existing A1020 Silvertown Way off-slip joins the Tidal Basin Roundabout.

• Dock Road (Reference A) (Work No. 18) - from its junction with the new part of the Tidal Basin Roundabout (Work No. 16), at a point approximately 130 metres west of the point where the existing A1020 Silvertown Way off-slip joins the Tidal Basin Roundabout, in a generally south-easterly direction for a distance of approximately 360 metres, to a point where it re-joins the existing National Cycle Route Number 13 approximately 35 metres to the southwest of where it passes under the existing A1020 Silvertown Way off-slip.

C.5.33 The realigned National Cycle Route Number 13 would provide an improved access for non-motorised users along Lower Lea Crossing (Work No. 15 (part)), Tidal Basin Roundabout (Work No. 16) and Dock Road (Reference A) (Work No. 18).
