Context
Planning and environmental health issues:
Mr Bell was not aware <strong>of</strong> any complaints about activities at the site.
Relationship to adjoining land uses/other boatyard facilities:
The yard is situated on Eel Pie Island which is home to a number <strong>of</strong> other boatyards
<strong>of</strong> varying size. The site, like many others on Eel Pie is in both commercial and
residential use.
Access arrangements (capacity, proximity to major roads):
There is no vehicular access to the island and it is only possible to gain access by foot
(across the footbridge) or by boat.
Comments (2000)
Both Mr and Mrs Bell have other pr<strong>of</strong>essions and the boatyard is a very small scale
operation, consisting mainly <strong>of</strong> a number <strong>of</strong> moorings and the slipway which people
use to take their boats out to work on.
Comments (2007)
No change.
