Proposals have been submitted to build a concrete plant on the border of Wimbledon and Tooting.

The site, in Waterside Way, is just down the road from St George’s Hospital and the new AFC Wimbledon stadium in Plough Lane and just across the river from Garfield Primary School in Garfield Road.

Express Concrete Ltd is seeking permission to build a concrete batching plant, with associated car parking, stock bays, ancillary structures and a batch control cabin, on the industrial estate in Waterside Way.

According to the plans, the site will include three cement silos over 17 metres (56ft) tall, a mixer house and loading point over 16m (53ft) tall, and an aggregate conveyer of 15m (49ft) tall.

An estimated 100,000 tonnes of aggregate will be delivered to the site each year. Approximately 35,000 tonnes of that will be from the nearby Riverside Road site, less than one mile away.

The plans also estimate that there will be 14 aggregate deliveries, four deliveries of cement and 25 exports of batched concrete every day.

The new AFC Wimbledon stadium in Plough Lane will be located just half a mile north of the site, with St George’s Hospital just to the east.

The Waterside Way site lies next to the River Wandle, and just across the water from Garfield Primary School.

Express Concrete Ltd is a new operating arm of construction company Cappagh Public Works Ltd, which specialises in sewers, highways, gas and water, and owns much of the land around the application site.

The land is currently used for warehouses, head office, workshops, utilities and car parking, which will be relocated across London when the concrete plant is built.

Comments on the plans are being accepted until Wednesday, April 12. To comment, or for more information, click here.
