I can agree with most that you have written, Marsh, but how can you honestly say that the site where the WRC pods are is well shielded? It's on, what is for the Broads, a hill (gentle slope) overlooking the river! 

That aside I don't blame the BA for treading cautiously on this one but if it's an implicit 'No' at this stage then I think that that is premature. I also think that there are enough folk on this planet that simply want a razz-matazz free holiday, maybe a short walk to the pub of an evening, a spot of fishing and a river bank to sit on and meditate, for a small glamping site besides the river to be very popular. Visual impact I don't mind, unless its unsightly. 

Call an area a national park, whether it is one or not, in order to attract visitors means that the Broads must be able to cope with the subsequent demands, the Authority can't have it both ways. Me thinks an open minded approach is called for on this one, just as it is for Jenner's Basin at Thorpe. 

Maybe thats the problem jenny , like you just said , waveney is on a gentle hill , whereas the horizon yard is all flat from what i remember & flooded a few times , so would be no good for glamping . Lori

Thank you, Lori. I did wonder about flooding but assumed that the new owners would have checked before publicising their plans. Got to say that if they hadn't done such an obvious check then I do wonder about their plans overall.

fantastic speculation on this thread, sorry I have been quiet, I don't log on much. 

we do own the river bank,

there is no slipway to preserve,

the pontoon at Ranworth is old news,

we are not speaking with Len about Acle,

I didn't like Hunsett mill either. 

 

But are we much wiser as to what really is happening at Acle?

Well if Clive doesn't know then if anyone has a gift of knowing the future , could he or she please let us have the winning lottery numbers for Saturday night.

Just going back to those interior shots of the Hunsett building they to me look as dead as the outside. Not my cup of tea at all, but there again I am just a curmudgeonly old bu***r with evidently noooo taste.

i should think that with the lack of curtains a blind man would be pleased to see it.

It would appear that it's 'one way' glass. A good camera with a powerful flash gun should sort that out though

Kind of place a town planner would be at home in/with.
