Single engined PT landing sites

This is sort of a followon from the Monkey Island question, and is UK PT specific.

Does anyone know of the specific bit of legislation or documentation (other than the ANO) which details why a site such as Monkey Island Hotel is unusable by single engined helicopters for public transport operations ?

I know it's because the river surrounds the island, and there's only really one way in and one way out, i.e. E/W or W/E depending on the wind, and PT operations demand that you be able to land on the surface following an engine failure. But documentation would be really useful.
