"12 new stunning dwellings and a sympathetic conversion of a historic building"
They make it sound like they are doing everyone a favour re the historic building but probably wished they had their way and replaced it with more housing had it not been for the planning people.
For now the services are the same but will according to the developers site be modernised with the addition of a pump out machine as an extra.
Next will be the Bulbourne yard. Never I hear you say, it`s full of Grade ll listed buildings. Mmmmm maybe next post I will dig out a link that shows an artists impression with a fancy bridge and a CRT.......NO you need to see this now HERE.
Is nothing safe from the money grabbing developers.
Edit: Perhaps the above link is a little tame. Try this one and see the same Marsworth developer with their impressions of Bulborne.

Ooh! It all looks absolutely lovely!!!!!
How soon before the buyers of the gentrified new dwellings demand the removal of the nasty, smelly, pikey river gypsies moored at the bottom of their garden?
I reckon we can probably look at days rather than weeks.....
Dont'cha just LURVE progress?
Not.
The developers pic of Bulbourne (as is) is almost identical to the one on the CaRT moorings consultation page. Almost ironic (or was that moronic) :-)
Wot he said !!
Well I had just logged on to make a very similar comment! They certainly won't want the smell and mess of a rubbish/Elsan area!

P.S. I have just looked at the link and looking at the Marsworth plans, I may be blind but I don't actually see a service block!! It looks like there are houses right up to the bridge.

The only bats in view are those cooupying the minds of the CRT who have taken upon themselves to raise money any way possible.
Suspect Bats In The Belfrey" is the primary problem in both the recently cleared site and the next site in the destructive phase of the CRT.
If something is not required, then the best solution is sell it, demolish and redevelop it for the monied gentry obviously who neither own nor care about narrow boats or the waters they ply
Hi Les
Yup, that will be some nice pleasant moorings up the swanney.
Wonder if the permanents on the other bank will get lose their moorings as well?

Hi John
In the aeriel picture the only visitor moorings are on the right on the towpath. They are at present 14day but CRT propose changing it to 48Hrs.
Roger
The left side towpath has long term moorings but they stop short of the bollards for the Aylesbury arm lock.
Opposite the long term moorings start away from the development but there are visitor moorings that will become 48hr.
Neil
the services will be as now next to the bridge in the aeriel pic. It will probably have a fancy fence/wall around it but I bet there will only be space for 1 boat at a time. 2 can moor at the moment

sadly this sort of thing is common with lumps of our history being lost or dramatically changed all over the canal system.
