Moorings
1. Bramerton Parish Council has four berths for all-year-round mooring of boats on the River Yare at Bramerton Common.
​
2. These moorings are primarily for parishioners of Bramerton and anyone living in the village may apply to moor their boat at one of these berths.
​
3. Boats moored here must be no longer than 25 feet, including any bowsprit, davits or other gear.
​
4. Once a Bramerton resident is allocated a berth and s/he complies with the terms of the Bramerton Parish Council Mooring Agreement s/he may continue to use the Mooring until they move out of the parish.
​
5. If and when all the berths are taken the Parish Clerk will maintain a waiting list of parishioners who wish to lease a mooring. This list will be in the order that individual parishioners express their interest in renting a mooring.
​
6. If a mooring becomes vacant and there are no parishioners on the waiting list the following procedure will apply:
i. the mooring will be advertised to Bramerton residents for 28 days on the village website, on The Common and elsewhere in the village;
ii. if after this the mooring remains vacant it will be advertised as available to residents of Kirby Be-don, Rockland St Mary and Surlingham for a further period of 28 days;
iii. if after this the mooring remains vacant it will be advertised as available to all comers.
​
7. If a mooring is let to a non-resident under 6ii or 6iii above it will be for a fixed term until 31st March immediately following the signing of the Agreement by the non-resident. If between signing the Agreement and before the following 31st December a resident of Bramerton adds his/her name to the waiting list the Agreement with the non-resident will end on 31st March, otherwise the non-resident’s Agreement may be renewed for a further 12 months.
​
8. The base charge for a parishioner mooring is set each year by BPC. (For 2024/25 the fee is £225.) For residents of Kirby Bedon, Rockland St Mary and Surlingham the charge is the base figure + 50%; for those living beyond these parishes the charge is the base figure x 2.
