Support. Needs to be accompanied by safer river sides. River side should be viewed as a connecting corridors

totally agree but it should also be important that any waterfront area has a good pathway system and cycle route leading to nearby towns.

Our client’s site, CHR20 Temple Sawmill, is located close to an existing houseboat mooring location. It is vitally important that opportunities are sought to deliver improvements that benefit local amenity, improve the quality of the local environment, and to ensure the removal of derelict and/or abandoned boats as sought by this policy.

Houseboats could be a great option, offering people an alternative lifestyle that connects them to the water and nature. As long as there is adequate space and proper provisions for utilities and waste management, they can be a sustainable and appealing housing solution. With the right planning and infrastructure, houseboats could provide an innovative living option while minimizing environmental impact, promoting a more diverse and flexible housing market. However, it's essential that they are introduced in suitable locations to avoid overcrowding and maintain harmony with the surrounding environment.
