3.1 Inundation
The immediate area of river in front of the terrace is a silt creek, with a low flow channel in the centre.
During larger tides (spring) the bed has water on it for over two hours 48minutes while during smaller (neap) tides the terrace has water on it for 14 minutes.

3.2 Biodiversity
Adjacent Site/Comparable Site:
Although Greenwich Peninsula North East is directly opposite the mouth of the River Lee (Bow Creek), it is located in the open estuary and therefore there will be more saline and much more wave dominated. A more representative comparable site may be therefore be Deptford Creek Saxon Wharf due to its creek location and north west facing orientation.
Fish:
Fish weren’t measured at the site. See Deptford Creek Saxon Wharf for a comparable location.
Botany:
Flora weren’t measured at the site. See Deptford Creek Saxon Wharf for a comparable location.
Invertebrates:

3.3 Geomorphology
100% of the accretable area has accreted with sediment above the design level (Figure 5).

Figure 5: Schematic showing geomorphology and basic ecology.
Contributing reasons for this include:
- Sheltered from most wave energy.
- Excellent drainage through backfilled hardwood planks and no impermabable base of concrete (although unconfirmed).
- No timber capping on sheet steel piles maximising the backfilled areas.
