There was a thread regarding this many months ago, i can`t remember the title, but i`m sure somebody will know. Somebody had bought it (i think?) and put in planning permission to develope it, but i think (again, not sure) it got rejected, so i`m not sure how it stands now.

Guest Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Do you mean the old Marina Quays??? Here is the thread I think you mean https://forum.norfolkbroadsnetwork.com/topic/15934-marina-quays I think the application was withdrawn in the end unfortunately.

DAVIDH Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Latest on this in the Eastern Daily Press. https://www.edp24.co.uk/news/politics/marina-quays-housing-plan-poised-for-approval-1-6167839 Take a look at the description of the Marina tower image as I am sure they have made a mistake there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trambo Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 See what you mean David! Broads Holidays Ltd (later traded as Helmsman) offices. Although I have a few doubts about the plan, it sounds a great improvement over todays eyesore and a much nicer place to moor while waiting for the tide over Breydon.

ChrisB Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 By visitor moorings I doubt they envisage 90 minutes waiting for a favourable tide. I think by visitor they mean overnight at the going rate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea14Ian Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 A step in the right direction.This has been in such a poor state for many years.I hope the plans can be a success .Will be interesting to see how things develop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanetAnne Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Will be interesting to see how much room there is under Potter if they dredge the marina quays moorings to the appropriate depth 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cockatoo Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Last time we went by some crackhead was sitting in the doorway with a fire burning against the door. We rang 999 and a fire engine, accompanied by police, were sent out. The police rang us back later to update us but they didn't find the crackhead. Still, he probably would have only got a slapped wrist anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDTRIPLE Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Interesting to hear the BA will probably give it the go-ahead?. I wonder whether the fact that one of the moorings being for BA use only had anything to do with their decision?. Or am I just being a bit synical again?. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original application also had one of the moorings reserved for the BA as well and we all know what happened to that application! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all this modern technology, we are rapidly getting to the time where you WON'T be able to do ANYTHING WITHOUT a mobile computer (used to be called phones). You're under control and you don't even know it. What's more, many people will flatly refuse to accept they are, sad indeed when we live in a world in which technogy is king, and overrides humanity. But let's not get into that, that's for elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have noticed that there is still the same old tidal race over the gravel at Stokesby where the cattle swim used to be. That is a defitinite constriction of the flow!

I seem to remember reading somewhere that dredging to remove mud is fine, if not problematic at times in terms of finding disposal sites, but that removing the harder bottom such as the shoals at Irstead and possibly at Stokesby requires a special license? I have noticed that the boat seems to be carried sideways at low speeds on some of the lower bends on The Bure, something that used to happen a lot about 10 years and more ago, but not so much recently, which would suggest the current flows have increased on the Lower Bure.

Actually I think there were quite a few saily's on the 3RR weekend that would also confirm that as well Seem to remember Wandering Rose spending a lot of time surveying that bend.

TheQ Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I sailed along there, close to the bank (opposite side to the pub) during 3RR no problem, the Yeoman behind me came to a sudden halt with a big bang, as he hit the old ferry crossing. A Yeoman draws about 3ft, I was in a Lysander drawing 18 inches.. Yes I've spent many an hour there waiting for tide and wind in the 3RR...
