"The GLA's Safeguarded Wharves Review states that temporary use of a Safeguarded Wharf should only be allowed where they do not preclude reuse for waterborne freight-handling uses."
"The wider community, health and social inclusion benefits of the proposed temporary use of the land as public open space are acknowledged."
"The plan will see about half the site turned into a public park, with the remainder used as an activity centre with a sports pitch."
"Although it will have to be mainly a decorative overlay on top of the concrete wharf, its slightly hidden location should make for a pleasant surprise when it eventually opens to the public."
A new pocket park is planned at Cremorne Wharf next to the Thames in Chelsea, designed to be temporary due to its safeguarded status for freight use. The park will occupy half the site, with the other half serving as an activity center. The design includes movable planters and furniture for easy removal. The site, previously a warehouse, is somewhat hidden from view, making it a potential hidden gem for the community, despite its limitations for long-term use.
