Context
Planning and environmental health issues:
There used to be a workshop at the Marina but following noise complaints from
some residents, it was closed.
Relationship to adjoining land uses/other boatyard facilities:
The Marina has been developed in the old dock basin with flats built around it. SPL
Marine and MSO Marine Construction are to the north <strong>of</strong> the site, near to the
confluence <strong>of</strong> the River Brent with the Thames.
Access arrangements (capacity, proximity to major roads):
Access to the site is via a private road which joins Brentford High Street. There is
specific car parking for marina users provided on the site.
Comments (2000)
The only marine activity that takes place at the site is the mooring <strong>of</strong> vessels. The
moorings are well serviced, being provided with power and water and there is also a
marina club/restaurant. There are however no boatyard activities such as repair and
maintenance <strong>of</strong> craft undertaken at the site.
