Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the installation of spud legs constitutes an engineering operation or operational development requiring planning permission

What decided it

The spud legs are an integral part of the barge vessel and the method of mooring is incidental to the lawful certified use of the foreshore for mooring boats, therefore no breach of planning control has occurred.
