Moorings Dispute
=================
Kennet District Council is taking action against British Waterways over
the establishment of moorings in an area known as Lady Bridge, as the
result of complaints by a local wealthy landowner who regards the
moorings as unsightly. The landowner has recently gained planning
permission for a development near the moorings, much to the surprise
and outrage of many local residents, who consider that he appears to
have undue sway over the Council. British Waterways is challenging the
action being taken by the Council at a planning inquiry, as it believes
that it does not require planning permission for the establishment of
moorings on waterways that it runs. BW is concerned that should the
Council’s Enforcement Notice be upheld, it might set a precedent that
would challenge the legality of many more moorings on the BW network,
and leave many boat-owners with no where to moor their vessel. BW has
therefore signified that it will escalate the matter to the High Court
if necessary. Local boaters have given evidence to support BW.
