Plans
During the Summer of 2008 a planning application was lodged with the Council of the London Borough of Bexley to position the vessel next to Erith pier, with the consent of W. M. Morrison who had previously restored the pier as part of a supermarket development. The application was given the case reference 08/07453/FUL and may be inspected on the authority's web site, where representations are invited. The initial intent is to moor the ship there for a six month period, during which time a Restricted Service Licence permitting short range broadcasting might conceivably be sought. The planning application gives no guarantee of public access, but this might be a more practicable proposition at Erith than at the busy international port of Tilbury.
It is worth noting that Bexley has some association with popular music through sometime local residents such as Kate Bush, Max Bygraves, Dorothy Squires and John Paul Jones (musician). Certain Erith tower block(s) have been associated with ad-hoc onshore pirate radio stations since the demise of the offshore variety.
