TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING (ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT)(ENGLAND AND WALES) REGULATIONS 1999 (SI 1999/293) Appeal by Greenhithe Marina (Management) LLP Site at Public Passageway Off The High Street At Land Adj, Sir John Franklin P.h. Area Of High Water To North, Greenhithe
In relation to the above appeal. The Secretary of State has considered the application in accordance with Regulation 9(1) of the above Regulations.
The development proposed, namely outline application for a deep water marina for up to 200 berths with associated marina and leisure facilities to include fuel pontoon, pump out facilities, waste storage and collection, club house with leisure and retail facilities with all matters reserved except details of means of access (area 0.50 Ha), detailed application for a new demountable pedestrian access ramp, series of fixed steel bridges on the river end side of the flood wall and a new canting brow to connect the floating marina pontoons (area 0.05 Ha), falls within the description at paragraph 12(b) of Schedule 2 to the above Regulations, and exceeds the threshold in column 2 of the table in that Schedule, but in the opinion of the Secretary of State, having taken into account the criteria in Schedule 3 to the above Regulations, would not be likely to have significant effect on the environment by virtue of factors such as its nature, size or location.
Accordingly, in exercise of the powers conferred on the Secretary of State by Regulations 9(1) and 6(4) of the above Regulations, the Secretary of State hereby directs that this development is not Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) development.
Under regulation 20(1) of the above Regulations, you must take steps to secure that this screening direction is placed on the part of the Planning Register which relates to the application which is the subject of this appeal.
Yours sincerely
John Norville
(Signed with the authority of the Secretary of State)
