Following several attempts to secure planning permission for a permanent home for our boat around our local dune system, the original home for our boat has all proved too difficult due to the special protection status of the area. We still hold out hope that a new local development, that is still in the early stages of planning, can provide an area to accommodate our boat. The landowner has confirmed, subject to a successful planning application, that our requirement for a site is included. Following any positive progress on this front, our dedicated small group will set about the task of recruitment for the group, further fundraising and a re-boot of activity to progress our mission to finish the restoration task. Our boat is currently stored on private land, with the generous consent of the landowner, but with access restrictions. The boat and equipment are wrapped, secure and weatherproof awaiting further progress on planning. Our group remains positive about a successful future for our project.
