Jetty OP Works App - Planning Report

As demonstrated below aerial photographs (Figures 12 and 13) the existing jetty extension and jet ski
storage pontoon have been in place at the subject site for a number of years. The jetty extension has
been in place since the original construction of the jetty as a result of the silting of the cul-de-sac and the
requirement for sufficient water to safely moor vessels. A jet ski dry storage pontoon has been fitted to the
jetty since March 2016 with no adverse effect on the surrounding area.

The proposed redesign does not diminish the existing visual amenity enjoyed by the subject site or
surrounding properties. The proposal does not result in any conflicts between the jetty and vessels and
watercraft. The proposal does not result an any cluttering of the canal and the proposed location of the
jet ski storage is such that is it sheltered and screened by the existing jetty.

The proposal does not result in excessive traffic and has been designed to safely moor and secure the
applicant’s vessels and watercraft. The proposal is of the same design and character of a number of other
existing jetties within the canal estate as demonstrated by Figures 4 to 9 above.
