@eco-g@stroud.social From what I remember from dealing with residential moorings in #Cambridge the rules can change from council to council and time to time. It's not as if "everybody knows" what they are. If you're paying your mooring fee to the council they're quite likely to tell you the rest of the rules - but a private marina??
Some of our boat dwellers have the boat as their registered address for voting. There are various opinions as to whether or not they should be allowed residents' parking permits. It all gets rather complicated.

@TimWardCam@c.im @eco-g@stroud.social yes. It's not unknown for a private marina to operate a "don't ask don't tell" system. Moorings classed as non residential but as long as you don't say anything nobody will say anything. Some marinas may have a proportion of residentials on which council tax will be levied. Essentially though, it's a complete tangle - some don't ask don't tell, some official residentials, some no residential at all. We get around it by not having a mooring and conforming to continuous cruiser regs and moving frequently, but that is not suitable for everyone.
