Re: Does anybody know why.... I suspect I might...
There is a thing called a right of adverse possession that applies to land. If you take over and use a piece of land, and the owner does not complain, after a while it becomes your property. I can't remember if the time span is seven or twelve years.
It might be that, having claimed ownership of the sea bed when building a marina, the operators are a bit touchy about somebody else ruining their eventual claim to adverse possession.
But there again, I might be absolutely wrong, and the 'no live here' comes from a committee of people airing their prejudices.
