Houseboats on the Axe?

The blog was contacted by a company that has just put three floating homes in Salcombe. They are not the traditional type of floating home (which looks exactly like any other house except that it also floats) these look more like houseboats. If you want to see what they look like and what they cost, see

Not to my mind the prettiest of solutions but I guess that, being boats, all they require is mooring rather than complicated planning decisions. I'm also not sure how they deal with their sewerage, etc. I gather that the tidal range in Salcombe is pretty much similar to Axmouth (but I'm no expert, so can't be sure).
