As we reported in October, St George Wharf has been seeking planning consent for the construction of a commuter pier., which would be located at the centre of the development.
Last week Lambeth Council granted planning consent for the pier, bringing us a step closer to river services being able to stop at Vauxhall. When granting their consent, Planning Officers also applied conditions to ensure that fish and other wildlife using the river will not be impacted by the development.
Whilst the final pattern of services is not yet known, the Putney to Blackfriars commuter service currently passes Vauxhall; if it were to stop at the new pier, commuters would have a direct boat link to Embankment and Blackfriars piers. It could also help to alleviate some of the rush-hour congestion on other transport modes at Vauxhall Cross.
