| Type of Location | Site |
| Location Reference | S03-HC - Eagle Wharf |
| Size | 0.52 ha |
| Site Description | The site comprises a warehouse. Site bounded by Regents Canal to the north, with residential properties beyond. The rest of site is surrounded by industrial and residential properties. North London Waste Plan v6 6 May 2015 |
| Potential Uses as Indicated by the Sustainability Appraisal | Waste transfer, processing and recycling |
| Uses unlikely to be suitable | Integrated resource recovery facilities/resource parks, Thermal treatment, anaerobic digestion, pyrolysis / gasification, mechanical biological treatment, outdoor composting, indoor composting and invessel composting. |
| Sustainability Appraisal | Band C - Development possible but significant planning issues require mitigation. |
| Details of in-situ infrastructure impacting waste development | Existing building on site will restrict size and layout of any facilities. |
| Landowner details | The Board of Governors of the Museum of London of PO Box 270, Guildhall, London, EC2P 2EJ |
| Flood Risk Zone | Flood Zone 1 (lowest probability of flooding) |
| Key Issues | Access from the canal for the transportation of waste to this site would be viewed as a sustainable transport option but there is also an existing road access on the eastern edge of the site off Eagle Wharf Road. However, although the access is suitable for large vehicles it is one way at this location and traffic would need to access the site via residences. The old warehouse would not be considered suitable for a large facility but would be appropriate for an enclosed small scale waste management facility. Reusing the warehouse in this way would mitigate any impacts on the neighbouring sensitive uses. |
| Habitat Regulation Assessment | Site currently being screened |
