Hi, my husband, father-in-law and I are the family who just got planning permission to build a marina near to Audlem, Cheshire and I note with interest many of the points raised in this discussion thread. I am very concerned to hear one person stating that "the developers have lied" - please could you let me know what this is about as I am happy to discuss ANY aspect of our application. Just to clarify - on the advice of the local planning office we used a marina development company to produce our planning application. The next step for us is to invite companies like GJP and Land and Water to provide tenders to construct the marina. We feel that the site that we have is ideal and are aiming to provide a quiet, peaceful environment for people to moor their boats. Our plan is to build with soft edges where possible as this fits in with the surrounding environment. We employ 3 people plus family members on our farm and this project is a means of diversifying our business to ensure it's future viability. The site is approx 1 mile form the centre of Audlem and I have already been approached and given support by a number of businesses in Audlem. If anyone has any questions please do not hesitate to ask.
