Living afloat
Our waterways are home to many people who live on their boats. Planning policies can support those living afloat at fixed locations.

The Association of Inland Navigation Authorities Advisory Document – the residential use of inland waterways provides some useful background on living afloat. For more information on moorings please refer to our mooring pages.
People living on boats in a fixed location is potentially a matter to be considered in the preparation of development plans. Our compiling your evidence base section may help.
