Preferred Option(s)

Representation ID: 60646

Received: 03/01/2014

Respondent: Canal & River Trust

Representation Summary:

The preferred option sites 1, 2 and 6 are towpath side of the canal and there are visitor moorings adjacent to sites 1 and 2. It will be important to ensure that an assessment as to whether residential development as proposed could satisfactorily co-exist adjacent to the moorings without affecting the provision of moorings in this location due to potential complaints from new residents due to noise, boat movements etc.is undertaken. The Canal & River Trust would not support the loss of these moorings which are in constant use due to the proximity to Kingswood Junction.
