I've heard from the BW Birmingham office that the application to take over the 24hr mooring outside the Pitstop bar is on behalf of a restaurant boat currently near Warwick. The owner would be seeking to be moored as a fixed restaurant in the daytime from 10am through 2pm, then cruising in the afternoon, returning in the late afternoon to pick up passengers, and cruising further in the evening.
Thus, says the BW lady I spoke to, it would still be possible for visiting boats to moor overnight. This seems odd and unlikely to me. I can't see how such a temporary mooring could work. I haven't yet found the boat in question either - if it's yet been built.
