That notice doesn't have any mention of a hotel use.

Planning consent application for a permanent mooring on the towpath? Why else would you want that? I can see the strategy, tip of the iceberg IMO.

Looks to be one of the boats at the site where the EA did the adverse possession claim . Old scouts wharf / Thames water inlets.
Could get interesting.
I don't think it is a hotel boat. Its not one of the slum boats anyway.
Boat name "Pioneers Joy" does not show up on the canalplan boat list which is a database of vessels registered with the various navigation authorities including EA.
It will probably be one of the boats which had been moored there for about 12 years now attempting to make a claim for residential rights.
To be followed by others I suppose.
It's an interesting situation down there.

It's this boat opposite the sailing club so nothing to do with the "hotel" boats.
Searchable under 2020/1561 on elmbridge planning.
Plenty of objections !
Doesn't look deep enough there really.

And the planning consultant they are using turns out to be mentioned in this article.
Surname Heine.
New gypsy status’ definition begins to bite as councils use it to ‘deny Gypsies and Travellers homes’
I suppose if the people living on the boats all started to reproduce then it might get put through but it seems extremely unlikely.
But if a leading light who knows the topic is involved maybe it will work

not sure about the mooring bollards and as for that knot.
Nice Gazebo !
The collection of bricks on the foredeck adds an extra something.

Did you say the slightly similar situation on the Medway had been subject to council actions?
Not the same because down there the land is owned by the boat owner but there was some sort of unauthorised development going on if I remember right.
Unicumes lane is what is in my head. I went down there a few years ago by car and there were some quite organised smallholdings springing up.

Apologies for the misleading thread title - I was thinking about our old chum Trotman and wrote hotel instead of house. Mea culpa.

They have still claimed land there, I cycled past it the other day.

The story is that the EA did an adverse possession claim followed by boat owners doing veg management and fencing in their "plots".
One would assume that the land will be awarded to the EA and the boats cleared at some point. It's just a matter of when.
And I guess it will be down to the EA to pay for the detritus which will need to be cleared to get the land back as it was previously.
