The Boathouse Planning 2019/4029
I would like to object on the following grounds:-The Boathouse has currently three levels of bars/restaurants internally, a upstairs terrace and a outside ground floor level with tables. By increasing the number of covers and more importantly turning the outside space into a covered area, with awnings and heaters; it would mean that even now in the colder months the local residents of Putney Wharf will get no respite from the late night noise that comes from this bar. The Boathouse does very little to control those sitting outside and many of the patrons sprawl into the piazza at Putney Wharf and do not stay within the designated cordon or demise of the property. There are no door men to restrict this and beverage glasses can often litter the surrounding area, being a danger to the local residents, joggers and cyclists . Putney Wharf residents already pay additional service charges to have extra private security at night, ensuring the safety of the local residents. What the Boathouse are proposing is effectively moving the patrons and the volume from the inside to the outside , in the form of a 'covered heated extension'. I see no reason why the council should encourage this. It would seem fairer to the local residents if The Boathouse actually considered having current outside tables shut down at 10.00pm and people moved inside, which is something that happens throughout London in highly populated residential areas adjacent to beer gardens etc. such as Putney Wharf. This would discourage people from hanging about outside late at night and make for a quieter and safer environment, without spoiling the fun of those who still want a good night out.cc Putney Wharf Residents Association putneysw15.com Justine Greening The Putney Society
