Staverton Marina moorings - appeal submitted
In the autumn of 2008 Alvechurch applied to put moorings for 15 canal boats in the lagoon at Staverton Marina. The application was eventually withdrawn. The lagoon is largely surrounded by housing and residents were concerned about the impact on local wildlife and amenities.
In May Wiltshire Council received a new application for the mooring of 15 boats on the lagoon at Staverton Marina (reference W/09/015550/FUL). This application was refused on July 31st because of the impact on the amenity of the area, and because the applicants had not been able to supply information asked for by the council.
Alvechurch have now appealed against that decision. The appeal will be determined by a planning inspector, who will look at the written evidence submitted by all parties and then make a decision. There will not be a hearing or public enquiry. If you sent in an objection when the application was being considered then that should get sent to the planning inspectorate. However any additional information can be sent to The Planning Inspectorate, Room 3/12a, Temple Quay House, 2 The Square, Bristol BS1 6PN. Send it in triplicate, quote the reference number W/09/01550/FUL, and get it there by March 15th.
