Some firends of mine in the uk wish to purchase a boat and live on it peacfully.
they are happy to pay their rates etc but its not allowed!!
I can not believe it, well actually i can with the way the uk gov are going.
They can have a private mooring with a boat but are not allowed to live on it. Also along with the private mooring they are not allowed to put fencing up!! hedges etc!!
This is quite new, the govs idea!!
the big question is why? miles of rivers in the uk and cant make good use of.
They have talked about owning a motor home with a plot of land as a base, Nope they cant do that either unless they apply for planning permission to change the use of land to residential!!! what is it coming to, the uk gov stinks, what do you think?

Twilight..you complain of the UK becoming like a communist state, and in your signature you say that you want to relocate to Cyprus.

Do you know who governs Cyprus?

Many boat owners are very irresponsible… ie: dumping rubbish in the water, not going by safety rules, sea worthiness of boats is also an issue, etc.

Most of them wanting that kind of lifestyle are bums keeping coast guards busy… I’m not surprised they’re not allowed.
