  1. I'm currently looking into the options for living on a boat (house is on the market, and the 'D' word has been muttered by swmbo on a few heated occassions... ), and so far one thing is clear, a Residential Mooring is not going to happen, and a Leisure Mooring may not be available either. I will need to be on the K&A (East of Caen Hill... ) because of my job. Travel from the boat won't be a problem, I plan on using a (small) motorbike/ moped that can be carried in the cratch. I am going to find out if their are any farmers with land along the canal whom I could moor with , and to that extent I have a few questions: 1 If you moor on a Leisure Mooring, I understand that you can not live on that mooring, but are you allowed to live on the boat, away from the mooring? As I understand the rules, the restricting goes purely on the mooring, not the actual boat. 2. following on that, if you move away from the mooring, are you then required to move a substantial distance between moorings (as per the CC licence), or can you remain in the same area, so long as you comply with the local mooring time restrictions? 3. This one is a bit of a curve ball perhaps, but if I'm moored on private land, on the other side of the canal, how do the powers that be check on me/the boat/licences. Considering that when I'm there, it will be during the day (I work nights), how would the powers that be determine if I 'live on the mooring', rather than visiting my boat. Same would go to some extend in a Marina I suppose, although there are more people around, some of whom are likely to be 'twitchers'. Not that I'm looking for loopholes to cheat the system (there's to much of that in my profession already, and to be fair, the cost of a licence and/or mooring is not that prohibitive), just curious. 4. Can a farmer simply rent out a mooring on his land, or does he need planning permission for this? I presume that for Resitential Mooring he needs to jump through hoops aplenty, but what about Leisure Moorings? To clarify, I intend to move the boat often at any rate (even if I would be lucky and secure a Resi spot) , as that is what it is all about in the end.. otherwise you might as well by a canal side property... Thanks in advance for any help.
