People living in apartments on the Harbourside are objecting to plans for a new pontoon in the Floating Harbour due to concerns about noise coming from boats. Plans for the new marina, with mooring space for 34 boats, are set to get planning permission later this week.
The new pontoon would be installed on the north bank of the Floating Harbour, south of Hotwell Road. The plans also include a single-storey welfare building with showers and toilets, as well as a floating reed bed to create an ecological habitat.
Bristol City Council is applying for planning permission for the new pontoon, with council bosses saying space for more boats would bring in extra income for the harbour. Councillors on the development control B committee will vote on the plans on Wednesday, May 10.
