A planning application for four houseboats to the west of 69-73 Whitworth Crescent (SO18 1GD) has been lodged with the council.
The site apparently had permission approved back in 1993 for four separate plots for use as private boating facilities, with the construction of pontoons and car parking for each plot.
The new proposals, submitted in August, include constructing four single-storey houseboats on piles, each with two bedrooms, a kitchen, a lounge/diner and a shower room, as well as services and car parking provision.
