Or, you could question why a residential berth should have to pay the marina an additional sum to represent the property tax (i.e. CT) when the property tax ii.e. business rates) is included  in the mooring fee for non-residential use?  Quick answer is, of course, that is the terms on which the marina owner is prepared to licence its moorings - and if you don't like it etc etc.  How a tax bill is divided up between owners and occupiers is a separate question to the total liability 

If it was my Marina, my answer would be that the 'base calculation' includes bins, water, showers, street cleaning etc etc,which are still used and the CT does not cover those costs.

The additional element for the residential mooring pays the additional charge by the LA (street lights, Police, etc etc)

But if you wanted to be pedantic or awkward and the 30 residential berths were marked as composite -

 

This isn't quite correct. It is the whole marina which is "composite", rather than 30 of its berths. The 30 berths are clearly residential, the other berths and a good proportion of the other buildings, workshop, cafe etc are not.

3.1.2 The need for planning permission for moorings used by vessels or floating structures in residential use

 

It would be helpful to cite the source of your quotes Alan. In this instance you have quoted from a third party's advisory document, whereas some might think it was a quote from planning law.

 

It is a good and helpful document, but it should not be taken as the law, only as a commentary on it.
