Hi,

The W SP Parsons Brinckerhoff report doesn’t mention, on the edge of its maps the main road artery in and out of London to the east and the docks, has plans to be turned (the A13) into a 1.3km tunnel in the area. each one of the pages of the reports shows it in danger of flooding.

The area is having an overground extension and is a goods line into London three years ago it welcomed a train from China.

bad pun but if not handled well could be a perfect storm area to cripple London rail and road cargo, and transport.

Hi,

Sorry to say i found the data 2 years ago and laying my hands on the source now is not going to be easy.

The riverside development https://barkingriverside.london/

Visiting the site it is within feet from the Thames water level, and short distance from the Thames barrier and houses have no raise thresholds at the door step.

The site is partly occupied by Barking Reach Power Station so i would expect a history of accurate data collection.

I found the data in a collection of Thames barrier events, environment agency forecast flooding likelyhood maps.

one of the websites, which show low risk, an older map showed it would completely flood for 1 mile in a one hundred year event, which i will try to find.

London flood map shows areas that may be regularly underwater by 2030/ less than 9 years away.
