Houseboat Mooring Sought At Strand On The Green

Unusual request to Port Authority for a new residence on this area of the river

The Port of London Authority has received a planning application for a houseboat mooring at Strand on the Green.

The application, for the “installation of 3 piles and trestles supports for the mooring of a vessel” is for the location known as Steam Packet Steps, which is the last set of steps past the Bell & Crown pub towards Kew Bridge (opposite Hearne Road).

The request pertains to a "residential vessel", which has been identified as a houseboat.

There are no other houseboats in this area although there are communities of houseboats in Brentford, past Kew Bridge.
