for a floating jetty for landing aquatic produce. It would consist of an interlocking precast concrete block structure, 5 metres wide, extending 5 metres into the sea from the existing concrete pier. Connected to this would be a Bailey-type galvanised steel bridge, 3 metres wide and 15 metres long, leading to a floating pontoon raft 10 metres by 5 metres in size. The structure would be 25 metres long and would have a footprint of 120 square metres. A Natura Impact Statement (NIS) is included with this application
