We work with private landowners and developers to facilitate quality inland marinas to meet future requirements.
Marina development can be a complex process but we're committed to supporting developers, which is why we've put together this guide.
What's in the guide?
The purpose of the guide is to facilitate successful canal marina and lay-by developments by providing specialist information and advice. It explains our requirements and recommendations of schemes that will connect to our network, our application process, and our role through the planning and development process. It also contains a wealth of other useful references and links.
What else do I need to know?
The guide assumes that you already have a basic understanding of the construction, property development and planning processes, so its emphasis is on aspects specific to marinas. Marina development and construction carries risks similar to those of any development project, so access to sound professional advice, independent of this guide, is essential.
If a proposed canal marina or lay-by development includes any of the following related works then the Code of Practice for Works Affecting Canal & River Trust will apply.
-
Service crossings
-
Water abstraction and discharge
-
Installation of services in the towpath
-
Demolition
-
Future maintenance works affecting one of our properties
-
Diving operations
-
Hydropower and leisure facilities requiring water abstraction
How can I contact the team if I have a question?
