"The wharf, almost an acre in size, will be filled with seating, planting, trees and play areas, creating a vibrant community space for residents and visitors."
"The development would be temporary, with potted plants and movable structures so the space can be used as a wharf again in the future, ensuring flexibility in land use."
"Beneath the wharf's concrete surface is the Thames Tideway Tunnel, which prevents tens of millions of tonnes of raw sewage from polluting the river, highlighting the area's environmental significance."
"A new pedestrian link to the Thames Path would also be created through the part-demolition of a western boundary wall, enhancing accessibility to the riverfront."
A Chelsea Riverside wasteland will be converted into a public park, featuring seating, planting, trees, and play areas. The development is temporary, allowing future use as a wharf. The proposal received approval from the planning committee despite objections from the Port of London Authority. A new pedestrian link to the Thames Path will be established through part-demolition of a boundary wall. The park will operate daily from 07:30 until dusk, supervised by a park-keeper and the Parks Police Service.
