It happens all the time, I have seen two areas where "gentrification" has occurred on waterfronts near moorings where more and more restrictions on activities on boats has occurred .... noise, dirt etc ..... ok we'll let you stay where boats have been moored for centuries providing your boat is pretty, well painted, doesn't burn solid fuel, doesnt run an engine or generator at any time and you don't do any of the work that is required to keep a boat pretty, well painted and afloat.

Who would have thought it? I live over looking a harbour and there might be a boat moored next to me. A load of nimbbys. Although it looks like Bristol council are having a clean out of the docks, with all the stories we’ve had about evictions and barges for sale recently.

Yes the original planning for my current residential mooring in East London specifically said no smoke, no noise, no vibrations etc however all the boats that have been on it over the years have had solid fuel appliances. I believe after a while it becomes established use and the planning is no longer relevant. |

It's the same sort of people who buy a house next to a pub then complain about the noise.

Sorry but every time I see this thread title I read it as “Quaysider residents furious”. And there was me thinking that people enjoyed their stays on Ellis!

I have to admit I bought a house (3 storey barratt jobby) before the estate was finished and it WAS hell for 18 months... I moaned about it and regretted having cream carpets as the amount of dust and muck that seemed to come in through the letter box was unbelievable. |
