We are proposing to use a site at Deptford Church Street for construction work and to accommodate permanent structures required to operate the main tunnel. The site would be used to connect the existing local CSO, known as the Deptford Storm Relief CSO, to the main tunnel via a long connection tunnel, known as the Greenwich connection tunnel.
The location of the site is shown below. Deptford Church Street (A2209) is to the east of the site, beyond which is the Sue Godfrey Nature Reserve and residential properties. Coffey Street and St Paul’s Church, a Grade I listed church are located to the north. To the south and west is Crossfield Street and to the south west is St Joseph’s Roman Catholic Primary School. The site is within the St Paul’s Conservation Area.
Deptford Church Street is our preferred site to intercept the Deptford Storm Relief CSO because in comparison to our preferred site at phase one consultation, Borthwick Wharf Foreshore, this site has relatively good access and avoids work in the foreshore of the River Thames.
