CRT said that is a derict river, belongs to no agency.

That’s a very good point, NOTED.

On the other side of the river there are houses and the gardens back onto the river so doubt that river is part of the sssi I would have placed some concrete blocks with buoys in the river, didn’t intend to place anything on the land because of it being sssi.

Solicitors did let me know everything, I was aware that land is sssi from the land searches, but what I intended to do wouldn’t harm the land and through would work, I’m still positive something can be done. I only bought 3 plots from that area with right of access on foot or by vehicle, two of the plots have river frontage. The map is what NE have sent to me.

That’s correct, land is left of the river further up It would be good to put a boat there and see the outcome, as long as not used to sleep on, maybe will be fine, not sure how to approach it at this stage

The sheep are not mine but a local farmer (it doesn’t bother me) natural England told me that a local farmer is grazing, the land is agricultural land, but looking at paperwork they sent you cannot dig or seed anything, planning officer said crops could be planted there, not too sure any more, definitely need to talk to natural England again. I did talk to them just need to do it again.

Apparently Dungeness is over 4000ha of land

I was looking for NE advisor details in my emails will get in contact again with more details. Thanks again

Thanks a lot will get in touch with natural England again, as they were the ones that advised me to get in touch with the local council planning department.

River Brede I have seen boats there but haven’t seen narrow boats, the river is not part of any agency and falls under the local council apparently .

Hi Tumshie, yes as soon as he sent the government policies stoping me to do anything on the land I called the planning officer and spoke to him, he just said that is his opinion and that I can apply for planning but will more than likely get a refusal

Hi there, I have recently bought some sssi land part of dungeness protected nationally and internationally it has river frontage and thought I could put a narrow boat or more on the river, the land has fishing and riparian rights. I have applied for “planning advice” and the planning officer said that I won’t be able to have a mooring there because of the land being sssi and people going to the boat and from the boat will have some impact on the fauna of the land ( at the moment people are walking dogs there and sheep are grazing the land). He also said that the land is agricultural and crops can be planted there (now this will definitely have an impact on the land and doesn’t make sense) I wanted to keep the land exactly as is, to see the sheep grazing, rabits wondering about, birds singing and so on but also have some boats on the water where people could sleep weekends and enjoy all that nature has to offer. Any of you out there knows how this can be tackled, does reparian rights mean you have the right to place a boat on water? Planning officer said that changing use of land could help but didn’t say how it will help. Very grey area, but notthing logical. This feels like having a piece of art in British museum, its mine but cannot touch it.
