New Marina to open at Linslade

[bramley]

Not sure if anybody knows anything, but i drink down the Grove Lock fairly often and to my suprise a sign has gone up to the land next to it.

 

A new marina to be opened soon at that location.

 

It was a suprise to me, looking at the size of the land it could be quite a big marina, heres wishing i had a boat to put in it lol..

 

just thought i would let you all know

There seem to be lots of them about! We saw loads of lines of polythene dividing up fields on the Leicester Arm, A new marina there apparently. A few miles north of Crick.

Both true. the Linslade one is being built by Pridewater, the owners of Fazeley Mill Marina. The Yelvertoft one north of Crick received PP a year ago and is the development scheme of a local landowner.

Is it the Tyrrells, who are digging the Yelvertoft one?

Do you know what happened to the planning application that was submitted to AVDC for a large marina north of Old Linslade?

Are you referring to the proposed 150 berth marina with administration building and car parking off Leighton Road, Soulbury? If so, planning permission was refused on 11/08/08.

Thanks, yes that was the one. I didn't realise it had been refused (I missed the planning decision when I was out cruising last year)
