It looks like they bought, cleared and planted that piece of land adjoining the mooring.<br />However the farmer who dug out a chunk of his field, allowed a boat in, then sealed it off from the canal with an earth bund had no such permission to cause damage to the canal bank!<br />nb oakfieldAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11311723.post-28180682148425334832016-05-05T08:46:04.253+00:002016-05-05T08:46:04.253+00:00Hi Dave

With the size of the pound it would not notice.<br />I do wonder about crt as this is twice. Can any of us buy some land and dig away.<br />LesLes Biggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06200731053479474814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11311723.post-67321280682734097442016-05-02T20:14:15.072+00:002016-05-02T20:14:15.072+00:00Subject to the height of the local water table, I ...Subject to the height of the local water table, I would think the CRT's main concern would be loss of water from the canal. Unless the new "marina" and all the surrounding land is heavy clay this construction could allow water to seep down into the subsoil. Canals were originally lined with clay which had to be "puddled" by teams of workers to make it impervious. These days modern water proof fabric liners are normally used instead. Short of draining the adjacent section of canal, I can't see how either could have been done at this site? Dave Wardnoreply@blogger.com
