Pleasure Boat, Vessel and Boatperson Licensing Policy Consultation

Overview

Dorset Council is proposing to introduce a new policy for the licensing of Pleasure Boats, Vessels and Boatpersons.

A new draft Policy has been prepared by officers for consultation. The policy is intended to give a fair, consistent and equitable approach across the Dorset Council area. This would give the Council, as Licensing Authority greater control over the licensing of pleasure craft and ensure that all operators and boatpersons are subject to the same application, enforcement and licence conditions regardless of where they trade.

We would therefore welcome your feedback on the new draft policy.

Please contact us by email customerservices@dorsetcouncil.gov.uk or phone 01305 221000 if you need the survey in another format or would like to respond in a different way e.g. a paper survey.

Your responses will help shape the final Pleasure Boat, Vessel and Boatperson Licensing Policy decided by Dorset Council councillors.
