At phase one consultation, we proposed to use vacant land off Butcher Row for construction work to intercept Holloway Storm Relief CSO and to accommodate permanent structures required to operate the main tunnel. The location of our preferred site at phase one consultation, Butcher Row, is shown in below.
Since phase one consultation, further technical work has established that there is no longer a need to connect the Holloway Storm Relief CSO to the main tunnel. This is due to the capacity identified in northern Low Level Sewer No.1 to which the Holloway Storm Relief CSO is connected and into which storm flows can be diverted. The site at Butcher Row is therefore no longer required.
Our site for these works is Bekesbourne Street where we would make the necessary improvements to the northern Low Level Sewer No.1 to allow the diversion of storm flows from the Holloway Storm Relief CSO to the northern Low Level Sewer No.1. The site was chosen due to its location above the section of the Holloway Storm Relief CSO where the works would need to be undertaken to allow storm flows to be diverted. A small site would also be needed at the junction of Bekesbourne Street and Ratcliffe Lane, to the south of Limehouse Station for a small electrical and control kiosk.
