Hi Kelly,
As promised - below are what appear, in our view, to be the relevant sections from the regulations affecting the
proposed dock at 122 Mayflower Terrace.
The relevance of these regulations are that our “bulkhead (i.e. sea wall) and any part there of” still exists and
has been present at least since 1969, as documented by photographs provided and also demonstrates long-
standing use by us, and proximity to proposed dock. None of this information was included in the Carrus’
submission of nearest pier.
Thank you again for your consideration of our concerns.
With best regards,
Lorna
