Right of Access Opportunity – Long-Term Licence Discussions Invited
We are pleased to present a rare Right of Access opportunity providing secure use of foreshore and riverbed owned by Thames Water Utilities Limited. This opportunity offers potential occupiers the ability to secure access for appropriate commercial use, with Thames Water open to discussions and negotiation regarding the length of term to ensure the arrangement is suitable for both parties. Rather than setting prescriptive structures or fixed terms, Thames Water welcomes offers and invites interested parties to propose licence durations aligned with their operational requirements. A service and maintenance contribution will be payable to cover the ongoing upkeep and management of the foreshore, ensuring it is maintained to a suitable standard. The level and review mechanism for this contribution will be discussed and agreed during negotiations with interested parties.
Planning, Consents & Statutory Approvals
Any proposed use of the site will be subject to all necessary statutory consents. It is the sole responsibility of the Licensee to obtain planning permission, secure all
required licences, and gain formal approval from the Port of London Authority, the relevant local authority, and any other regulatory bodies. In addition, any prospective occupier must comply with the Tideway/Thames Water Asset Protection process for developers, including reviewing and adhering to the publicly available guidance accessible on the Tideway website. This framework
ensures that all activities near critical infrastructure are undertaken safely and in line with statutory and operational requirements. Prospective parties must undertake full due diligence, seek independent professional advice and satisfy themselves that all permissions and approvals can be achieved before progressing. Thames Water will not be liable for any delays, refusals, costs or obligations arising from the statutory process or from asset-protection
