ProDave Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 But would you then need a licence to "pilot" it even when tethered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably the licensing involved in having an 'airship' makes this idea prohibitively expensive. Just like living on a boat or in a camper van permanently is made difficult.

Would it have flushing lavatories, or just a hatch. Be one way to deal with noisy neighbours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No enforecement action would be taken while there is a planning application ongoing. Put it out of the way down by the quarry perhaps. If it goes unnoticed for a few years that opens all sorts of possibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And some - CAA rules make Building Control seem easy - imagine having to have every pack of blocks, every bag of cement approved and traceable and you'll get the idea.

I don't think they need planning - you'd just have to issue yourself a mooring permit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they need planning - you'd just have to issue yourself a mooring permit? yes or just buy an old trawler and moor it next to my jetty used to be 2000ton boats came in for the granite I have a picture somewhere of the last boat than came in the 90,s --a russian one -it went back with granite and 6 ladas as deck cargo --still very sought after in russia and very cheap here not sure how that would go down but the simplest if planning end up being very hard to work with would be to refurb "the Glebe" I reckon 150k tops would totally rebuild that to modern specs rip out all interior and build a kit house inside it basically but the idea was to sell the quarry and the jetty and the glebe anyway we,ll have to see how things go once I get somewhere with planning then other bits will advertised so many options its mind blowing OHH to be younger Edited July 3, 2020 by scottishjohn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
