This appears to be a major capital construction project that implies moorings that will offer premium leisure moorings only; in turn offering no affordable rent residential moorings unless mandated by s.106 agreement.
The plan involves relocating moorings. The mooring should be left where they are because relocation implies gentrification and the existing mooring users including boat dwellers (who are likely to have been present for decades) will be displaced and an entire community will be broken up. This must not be allowed to happen.
No examination has been conducted under s.124 Housing and Planning act 2016 including consulting NBTA.
