1 Introduction 1.1.1 This note provides further explanation of the process followed and

reasons for identifying King’s Stairs Gardens as a preferred construction site.

1.1.2 King’s Stairs Gardens has been identified as a preferred location for a shaft site to receive the main tunnel boring machines to enable the construction of the main tunnel and construction of tunnels to connect to four combined sewer overflows (CSOs) in the surrounding area and to accommodate permanent structures required to operate the tunnel.

1.1.3 We are currently at the first phase of public consultation and are seeking views on our preferred sites. We will consider all the feedback we receive on this and other sites and what amendments to the project may be possible in response to those comments.

1.1.4 In order to assist consultees in responding to the consultation, we set out below further information on how King’s Stairs Gardens was chosen as a preferred site.

1.1.5 This note is, however, intended as an overview of a lengthy and detailed process. We have therefore also provided references to the relevant reports (available on the consultation website: www.thamestunnelconsultation.co.uk) that provide full details of the process undergone.

1.1 The site selection process 1.1.1 Sites have been identified in accordance with our site selection

methodology (SSM) (available on the consultation website). The site selection process is multidisciplinary in nature and the methodology was the subject of two rounds of consultation with affected London boroughs and pan-London stakeholders, resulting in its approval for use in selecting preferred sites.

1.1.2 The site selection process involves a filtering approach, commencing with identification of all potential areas of land (excluding concentrated residential sites and World Heritage sites) and passing sites through increasingly detailed levels of assessment to move from a long list to a draft shortlist, a final shortlist and for Phase One Consultation, a list of preferred sites.

1.1.3 The project team used technical knowledge and professional judgement – based on information available at the relevant point in time – to evaluate sites.

1.1.4 The SSM recognises the iterative relationship between the site selection process and engineering design and optioneering. Accordingly, as the process has progressed, it has been increasingly important to compare sites against engineering requirements. A site must meet engineering needs to merit more detailed consideration. An important consideration is the need to identify sufficient sites, in the right locations, to enable the scheme to be built.



1.1.5 The analysis undertaken to date in relation to King’s Stairs Gardens and other sites in the surrounding area is summarised below. Initially, this summary describes sites we looked at within the London Borough of Southwark. It then explains how King’s Stairs Gardens was assessed against sites in the relevant neighbouring boroughs of Tower Hamlets and Lewisham.

Long list sites 1.1.6 A preliminary high-level assessment was undertaken of potential shaft

sites on our long list. Table 2.2 in the SSM sets out the considerations used to assess sites on the long list.

1.1.7 A total of 64 sites in Southwark were eliminated at the long list stage and eight sites identified as suitable for inclusion on the draft shortlist.

1.1.8 Appendix 1 includes details of the assessment of the long list of sites in Southwark.

Draft shortlist sites 1.1.9 Sites included on the draft shortlist were assessed having regard to the

considerations set out in Table 2.3 of the SSM. This stage of the process built upon the information gathered and assessment undertaken at long list stage. The focus at this stage was on more detailed local considerations.

1.1.10 The eight sites in Southwark included on the draft shortlist and assessed at this stage were:

• S08SK: Open Space to front of Tate Modern

• S40SK: Potters Fields Park, Tooley Street

• S41SK: Cleared site, Tooley Street/Potters Fields

• S45SK: Derelict Site, Chambers Wharf, Chambers Street

• S54SK: King’s Stairs Gardens, Jamaica Road

• S71SK: Open Space (Durand’s Wharf), Rotherhithe Street

• S72SK: Surrey Docks City Farm, Rotherhithe Street

• S74SK: South Dock Marina Boat Yard, Calypso Way. 1.1.11 Meetings were held with affected London boroughs (including London

Borough of Southwark) and pan-London stakeholders, such as English Heritage and the Environment Agency, to verify that no specific sites or general site location factors were overlooked in the assessment of the draft shortlisted sites and to seek confirmation that the most appropriate sites had been identified for inclusion on the shortlist.

1.1.12 The results of the assessment of the draft shortlist of sites in Southwark are summarised in Appendix 2.



1.1.13 In summary, the outcome of the assessment of the draft shortlist was to retain the following three sites on the shortlist for more detailed assessment as potential main tunnel reception/intermediate shaft sites:

• S54SK: King’s Stairs Gardens, Jamaica Road

• S71SK: Open Space (Durand’s Wharf), Rotherhithe Street.

• S74SK: South Dock Marina Boat Yard, Calypso Way. 1.1.14 The assessment of the draft shortlist concluded, at this point, that King’s

Stairs Gardens was less suitable for use as a main tunnel drive shaft site and should not be taken forward for further consideration. This conclusion was revisited when additional engineering considerations became apparent and were taken into consideration, as described below.

Inclusion of King’s Stairs Gardens and King Edward Memorial Park as shortlisted main tunnel shaft sites

1.1.15 In the area where the geology in the tunnelling horizon changes from Thanet Sands to Chalk downstream of Tower Bridge, a change in the type of tunnel boring machine is highly desirable. This is explained further in the Background Technical Paper (available on the consultation website). As a result, a possible need for a main tunnel drive site in the area downstream of Tower Bridge was identified.

1.1.16 The shortlist included only one potential main drive shaft site in the relevant area (Shadwell Basin site – S020T, in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets). There were a number of engineering factors identified that make the Shadwell Basin site (S020T) difficult to use and potentially undesirable. It was therefore considered necessary to identify additional locations for main drive shaft sites in the Tower Bridge area to mitigate the risk of the Shadwell Basin site (S020T) not being suitable. As a result, two sites, S54SK: King’s Stairs Gardens and S021T: King Edward Memorial Park (London Borough of Tower Hamlets), were additionally taken forward for assessment as main tunnel drive sites (on the basis that these represented the sites on the draft shortlist large enough for a main tunnel drive shaft site).

1.1.17 For the reasons outlined below, following further application of the site selection process in combination with further engineering design, it was ultimately concluded that none of the three sites (Shadwell Basin, King Edward Memorial Park or King’s Stairs Gardens) should be selected as main tunnel drive sites.

Assessment of shortlisted sites 1.1.18 The sites included on the shortlist downstream of the Tower Bridge area

were: 1.1.19 Main tunnel drive, reception or intermediate shaft sites:

• S54SK: King’s Stairs Gardens, Jamaica Road (London Borough of Southwark)

• S020T: Shadwell Basin (London Borough of Tower Hamlets)



• S021T: King Edward Memorial Park (London Borough of Tower Hamlets)

• S065T: Sir John McDougal Gardens, Westferry Road (London Borough of Tower Hamlets).

1.1.20 The sites included further downstream on the east side of the Rotherhithe Peninsula were: Main tunnel drive, reception or intermediate shaft sites:

• S01LM: Convoys Wharf (London Borough of Lewisham)

• S02LM: Pepys Park (London Borough of Lewisham). Reception or intermediate shaft sites only:

• S71SK: Open Space (Durand’s Wharf), Rotherhithe Street (London Borough of Southwark)

• S74SK: South Dock Marina Boat Yard, Calypso Way (London Borough of Southwark)

• S070T: Slipway adjacent to Old Bellgate Place, Westferry Road (London Borough of Tower Hamlets).

1.1.21 A site suitability report (SSR) was prepared for each shortlisted site containing an assessment of each site having regard to engineering, planning, environment, property and community considerations. Sites were assessed by each discipline as suitable, less suitable or not suitable.

1.1.22 Details of the locations of these sites and the recommendations made in the site suitability reports are provided in Appendix 3. These recommendations were taken into account when assessing each site against engineering requirements in order to create the preferred list of sites, as described below.

1.1.23 Copies of the SSRs for King’s Stairs and Convoys Wharf are attached as requested. Appendix 3 records the recommendations of the SSRs for the other sites listed above. An SSR was not prepared for Chambers Wharf as it was eliminated at the draft shortlist stage.

1.1.24 A request has been made for the environmental impact assessment undertaken for King’s Stairs Gardens. The Site Suitability Report reports the assessment undertaken by each environmental discipline for King’s Stairs Gardens. A full, statutory environmental impact assessment will be undertaken once the route and sites have been selected and will be submitted with the application for planning permission.

Creation of the preferred list of shaft sites 1.1.25 Consideration of sites up until shortlist stage principally focussed on each

site as an individual site in isolation from the assessment of tunnel drive and alignment options. However, due to the nature of the scheme, it is necessary to select a package of sites, paying attention to how they will work in combination and in relation to the options for main tunnel alignment (ie, the three identified potential routes) and CSO connections.



1.1.26 The Project Overview Report (available on the consultation website) describes the process of identifying preferred sites, taking into account engineering requirements. The main points are summarised below.

1.1.27 The engineering team took into consideration possible drive strategies to construct the tunnel, paying particular attention to changes in ground conditions and the requirement for different types of tunnelling machines, construction risks and timescales.

1.1.28 The tunnel routes and available shortlisted sites were divided into zones and multidisciplinary workshops held to identify the most suitable shortlisted site within each zone.

1.1.29 The conclusions reached in the site suitability reports, as described above and in Appendix 3, were taken into account and as a consequence, the following sites were selected as the most suitable sites for their respective zones:

• Main drive shaft site or reception/intermediate shaft site for Zone 6 – Shad area: S54SK King’s Stairs Gardens.

• Main drive shaft site or reception/intermediate shaft site for Zone 7 – Limehouse area: S021T King Edward Memorial Park.

• Main drive shaft site or reception/intermediate shaft site for Zone 8 – Deptford area: S01LM Convoys Wharf.

1.1.30 Sequential comparisons were made of how best to use the potential sites in Zones 6, 7 and 8 to facilitate construction of the eastern end of the tunnel. These comparisons for the Abbey Mills route are summarised below. Further explanation is provided in the Project Overview Report for all three routes.

Comparison 1 1.1.31 A choice had to be made between using a longer route through Convoys

Wharf, via King’s Stairs Gardens, or a shorter route past King Edward Memorial Park. If using Convoys Wharf, the King’s Stairs Gardens site would still be needed as a main tunnel reception shaft site and connection tunnel drive shaft site for the tunnel connecting the Druid Street and connection tunnel to King Edward Memorial Park CSO interception. On balance, it was decided that the shorter route – avoiding Convoys Wharf and using King’s Stairs Gardens or King Edward Memorial Park – was preferred. Important considerations in reaching this conclusion were as follows: a. The longer route through Convoys Wharf uses one more tunnel boring

machine and has 3km more main tunnel length, which adds significant extra cost, together with additional construction, health and safety issues associated with tunnelling (these concerns are partially offset by reduced lengths of connection tunnel).

b. Use of Convoys Wharf would require a larger site if used as double drive site to Abbey Mills and King’s Stairs, with additional acquisition cost and risks associated with third-party property interfaces.



c. The longer route through Convoys Wharf would mean using Abbey Mills as a reception shaft site. This is not considered the most efficient use of a Thames Water owned site.

d. Heritage concerns associated with use of Convoys Wharf. 1.1.32 It was acknowledged that the longer route using Convoys Wharf as a main

tunnel drive shaft site would lead to less conflict with planning policy and a reduced impact on nearby communities.

Comparison 2 1.1.33 A choice therefore had to be made between the use of S54SK King’s

Stairs Gardens or S021T King Edward Memorial Park as a main shaft site for the shorter route directly to Abbey Mills. The following factors were taken into account and resulted in King’s Stairs Gardens being identified as the preferred site: a. Use of King Edward Memorial Park would extend the length of the

main tunnel drive and increase the challenges associated with tunnelling in chalk.

b. In planning terms, the distinction between the two sites is made on the availability of alternative public open space. King Edward Memorial Park is within a defined public open space deficiency area and locating suitable replacement facilities would be difficult, if not impossible. Southwark Park is considered a useable alternative to King’s Stairs Gardens.

c. While use of King Edward Memorial Park would avoid the creation of a separate CSO drop shaft, cost and programme issues associated with the longer drive outweigh this potential benefit.

d. King Edward Memorial Park is within a conservation area. There are no conservation areas affected by use of King’s Stairs Gardens. There would be less opportunity to mitigate townscape impacts at King Edward Memorial Park.

e. In environmental terms, both sites have potential to give rise to noise disturbance and air quality impacts and would require extensive mitigation measures.

f. For both sites, use of special parliamentary procedures may be needed to secure their use.

1.1.34 On balance, King’s Stairs Gardens was considered more acceptable for use as a main shaft site. It is, however, recognised that mitigation would be needed to reduce the impact of construction to an acceptable level.

Comparison 3 1.1.35 Having identified King’s Stairs Gardens as the preferred main shaft site, a

choice then had to be made between driving from Abbey Mills Pumping Station to King’s Stairs Gardens, or vice versa.

1.1.36 A main tunnel drive shaft site gives rise to greater impacts than a main tunnel reception shaft site and, on balance, it was considered that Abbey



Mills Pumping Station was a more appropriate main tunnel drive shaft site for the following reasons: a. Abbey Mills is owned by Thames Water. b. Use of Abbey Mills minimises the impact on public open space and

residential amenity. c. Abbey Mills is relatively unconstrained, although it is identified as a

conservation area. d. Noise and air quality impacts associated with a main drive shaft site

can be more easily mitigated at Abbey Mills. e. After-use structures associated with a main drive shaft site would have

less effect at Abbey Mills. 1.1.37 Therefore, King’s Stairs Gardens was recommended for use as a main

reception shaft site, while allowing for its use as a connection tunnel drive site, as explained below.

1.1.38 Although not included in the initial assessment, subsequent design development also highlighted potential difficulties with connecting the four south-eastern CSO flows (from Druid Street through to Greenwich) and the north-eastern CSOs (at King Edward Memorial Park and Butcher Row) into a single shaft. This has reinforced a preference for two shafts, one ideally on the south of the river, to connect the south-eastern CSOs into the main tunnel and a separate shaft on the north of the river to connect to the north-eastern CSOs.

1.2 Summary and the way forward 1.2.1 This note sets out the site selection process to date as it relates to King’s

Stairs Gardens and seeks to explain why it has been identified as a preferred site for Phase One Consultation, while recognising that there are community concerns about loss of public space and environmental impacts that need to be mitigated.

1.2.2 If this site is confirmed in due course as the selected site, it would – with the rest of the scheme – be the subject of a statutory environmental impact assessment that would identify all environmental concerns, necessary mitigation and conclude on the extent of environmental impacts after mitigation measures have been taken into account. The decision-maker for the scheme would, when deciding whether or not to grant planning permission (development consent), have full regard to the conclusions of the environmental impact assessment.

1.2.3 As mentioned above, we are currently at our first phase of consultation and we will listen very carefully to all comments made and take them into consideration.

1.2.4 If new information emerges that requires us to revisit our assessment of King’s Stairs Gardens and/or any other sites, we will do this (and undertake a targeted repeat of the site selection process as necessary).



1.2.5 We will work very closely with the local borough, local residents and other interested groups to minimise both the construction and permanent impact of the works.

1.2.6 Further consultation will allow stakeholders, including the public, to comment on any amendments we have made to the scheme in response to Phase One Consultation.

Appendix 2

1.1 Draft shortlist sites 1.1.1 The eight sites in Southwark that were included on the draft shortlist are

described below and can be seen on the map included as Figure 1. These sites were assessed having regard to the considerations identified in Table 2.3 of the SSM. A summary is provided below of the reasons why sites were either eliminated at this stage or progressed through to the next stage of the process (final shortlist). This summary sets out the considerations which had most bearing on the decision to select or eliminate sites. The conclusions of all disciplines were however taken into account.

1.1.2 Meetings were held with affected London boroughs (including London Borough of Southwark) and pan-London stakeholders such as English Heritage and the Environment Agency to enable these bodies to verify that no specific sites or general site location factors were overlooked in the assessment of the draft shortlisted sites and to seek confirmation that the most appropriate sites had been identified for inclusion on the shortlist.

S08SK: Open Space to front of Tate Modern Eliminated: Planning, environment and community constraints.

1.1.3 Planning/Environment: Due to the cumulative impacts on unitary development plan (UDP) policy areas, including a strategic cultural area, open space and an archaeological priority area, and on the basis of the information currently available, the site was not recommended to be taken forward to the next stage of the selection process.

1.1.4 Community: Due to potential impacts on community cohesion, the local economy, health and wellbeing and equalities considerations, the site seems to have severe disadvantages from a community impacts perspective. In particular, the presence of national tourist attractions (Tate Modern and Globe Theatre) next to the site and the likely loss of open space through use of the site were of concern.

S40SK: Potters Fields Park, Tooley Street Eliminated: Planning, environment and community constraints.

1.1.5 Planning/Environment: S40SK was considered as part of a split main site in conjunction with S41SK. In the case of both sites, there are a number of constraints to the use of the sites. Due to the cumulative impacts on UDP policy areas, including Metropolitan Open Land, the Thames Policy Area, a strategic cultural area, open space and an archaeological priority area, as well as proximity to residential receptors, and on the basis of the information available, the site was not recommended to be taken forward to the next stage of the selection process.



1.1.6 Community: Due to potential cumulative impacts on community cohesion, the local economy, health and wellbeing and equalities considerations, the disadvantages of this site outweigh the advantages. In particular, the likely loss of open space through use of the site, disruption to views and effect on the Thames Path was of concern.

S41SK: Cleared site, Tooley Street/Potters Fields Eliminated (on basis of consultation with London Borough of Southwark and other pan-London stakeholders).

1.1.7 The multidisciplinary assessment undertaken by the project team considered this site suitable for progression to the shortlist. However, the London Borough of Southwark and other pan-London stakeholders raised concerns similar to those expressed for S40SK. The PLA additionally raised significant concerns over use of river transport at this location.

S45SK: Derelict Site, Chambers Wharf, Chambers Street Eliminated (on basis of consultation with London Borough of Southwark and other pan-London stakeholders).

1.1.8 The overall conclusion reached, on balance, by the multidisciplinary team after having regard to other relevant material considerations, available information sources, assessments and professional judgements was to retain the site on the shortlist, but to monitor the progress of the development plans for the site. The property team had, however, recommended not to proceed with this site.

1.1.9 It was, however, noted that demolition had commenced on site, suggesting that it would not in fact be available. Following verification of the latest position with London Borough of Southwark, this site was eliminated on the basis that the proposed residential development was likely to proceed (as at August 2009).

S54SK: King’s Stairs Gardens, Jamaica Road Proceeded to shortlist for consideration as shaft reception/intermediate site (but eliminated as main drive shaft site due to planning/environment and community concerns).

1.1.10 The overall conclusion reached by the multidisciplinary team, based on available information sources, assessments and professional judgements, was to retain the site on the shortlist for consideration as a shaft reception/intermediate site, subject to mitigation of construction impacts and sensitive siting of plant and operations to minimise impact on residential occupiers.

1.1.11 It was, however, recommended that it be eliminated at this stage as a main shaft drive site on the basis of the planning/environment and community teams’ concerns about the greater area of land required.

1.1.12 Planning: Use of the site as a main drive shaft site would impact upon approximately two-thirds of the proposed site. Given the site’s current use



and proximity of residential occupiers, use of the site as a main drive shaft site is unlikely to be acceptable.

1.1.13 Community: Due to potential impacts on community cohesion, health and wellbeing and equalities considerations, the disadvantages of this site outweigh the advantages. In particular, potential for loss of the open space and playground on the site is of concern. This site is less suitable from a community impact perspective for a main drive shaft site.

S71SK: Open Space (Durand’s Wharf), Rotherhithe Street Proceeded to shortlist for consideration as shaft reception/intermediate site, eliminated as split main drive shaft site due to engineering, planning/environment and community concerns.

1.1.14 The overall conclusion reached, based on available information sources, assessments and professional judgements, was to retain the site on the shortlist, subject to mitigation and concerns noted by the community team (the need to mitigate impact on residential properties and nearby athletics track).

1.1.15 The site was eliminated as a split main shaft site (with S72SK) due to engineering, planning/environment and community concerns.

1.1.16 Engineering: Separation between sites (ie, using two separate sites as a combined main drive shaft site) unacceptable.

1.1.17 Planning/Environment: In isolation, S71SK may be acceptable for use as a shaft site with appropriate mitigation, but is not considered suitable in combination with S72SK due to the cumulative impact on planning and environment considerations.

1.1.18 Community: The loss of green space on site S71SK, combined with the loss of a farm, café and park facility on S72SK, is not considered acceptable from a community perspective.

S72SK: Surrey Docks City Farm, Rotherhithe Street Eliminated: Planning/environment and community concerns.

1.1.19 Planning/Environment: Due to the individual and cumulative impacts on UDP policy areas including borough open land, an area of importance for nature conservation, the Thames Policy Area and an archaeological priority area, and on the basis of the information currently available, the site was not recommended to be taken forward to the next stage of the selection process.

1.1.20 Community: Loss of the farm, park and café was not considered acceptable in community terms.

S74SK: South Dock Marina Boat Yard, Calypso Way Proceeded to shortlist for consideration as shaft reception/intermediate site.



1.1.21 The overall conclusion reached, based on available information sources, assessments and professional judgements, was to retain the site on the shortlist for further investigation into use of boat yard and listed features.
