There will apparently be “1,244 arrival and departure LGV trips and 69 arrival and departure HGV trips per day”
The facility will create many more HGV journeys through Silvertown Tunnel & Greenwich borough, near the 3000-home Royal Wharf, a large housing development named Thameside Wharf recently proposed close to the site, & other housing developments in the vicinity. A new block of flats is directly next to this site & plans for 1,000 homes at Deanstone Wharf are approved
The new distribution centre will bring unbearable levels of pollution & noise to this previously quiet residential & leisure area
