Wayzegoose is a 23.5m (just within the 24m limit for vessels entering Chichester Harbour) barge that is already converted into a very beautiful houseboat already converted and on her yearly renewing mooring lisence on Cadogan Pier. She comes with a Chelsea and Westminster parking place! (£250,000 + £23,500 mooring fees PA + £950 council tax).
Because there is no need for a ferry to access her, she can be accessed by the pier, the operation costs are much lower and the location is quite amazing right by the Pier entrance and overlooking Albert Bridge and the park. The Pier do not allow Airbnb but a lot of boats on the pier have their boats on some kind of short term let system like 'onefinestay.com'
NB there is space next to her for a RoBat that can use the same launch that the Thames Clippers do right next to Wayzegoose.
The below charts look at the operation of Wazegoose as an accommodation space at £750 a night at 23% (to pay for herself) or at %100 for reference:

We are looking at various incredible locations for where to set up the next Green Camps. The following site pages have some basic info and feasability study pertinant to that site.
Green Campus Grew out of Arundel Forest Garden, it was the home of the first camp. It is now very overgrown and this is an application to Duke Edward and The Norfolk Estate to establish a self contained unit there, the rent from which will manage the land and earn a handsom sum for the estate.
A hidden glamping gem set in 7 acres and surrounded by stunning Dorset countryside.Bloomfield was purchased by the owners approximately five years ago and has since been run as a thriving family business, with an enviable occupation rate with around a 70% rate of returning business. Approached via Common Drove, the site comprises just over 7 acres, within which five yurts and a safari tent are strategically placed to give privacy and seclusion within the land. At the entrance of the site is a gravel parking area where guests leave their cars and check-in at the reception hut and honesty shop, which stocks essential items and local gifts.
Agricultural land for sale through local agents belonging to a local farmer, Piero. A planning application with the local authorities is necessary. Extensive planning laws are explored on the page. Presently the idea would be to establish a fresh water pool and then see if we can do canvas domes after the planning laws change. Ongoing work with the local sales agent Christine and her planning experts Silvia and Antonio (see detailed info below) reveal that current planning laws do not allow for development but future planning laws coming into effect next year are very favorable. My own research reveals various opportunties too that need to be reviewed with the Architect Kristoffer.
A beautiful site where we are exploring the joint deliver of a Green Camp with the custodians of the site. They have just won the property and any plans would have to wait two years for aproval by the local council.The project was started by a group of young professionals, Matthew & Chiara as the sole signatories, were looking for a place outside of the main cities to go back into contact with the environment and live sustainably and publicise this idea to others. They found the land through a regional program and made a project application and won (from many applicants) the land for 9 years with the option to renew for a further 9 at the end of each term if they wish. They have just started the project four months ago and we are building up connections with people around the site and starting to clear the land of invasive species and fix the place up generally.
Rubino beach is part of a 47 Hectare estate owned by Mr Antonio Rubino and his wife and comprises two parts. The part of particular interest is the only part I managed to scan on the day: three areas of land above their own private beaches. There is another part that is on a much more littered beach that has beach houses, a restarant and parking where Mr. Rubino showed us the surrounding fields that might be suitable for development.
This beautiful estate is owned by Gregorio and Agynes Di Lione who inherited it from their father who sadly passed away quite suddely last year. The property overlooks the Northern Coastline of Sicily about 40km to the East from Palermo and 15km away from the highly saught after tourist and holiday town of Cefalu (see the pictures below).
Two acres of fields owned by John Henry Pounds on the Western Gate of Siena
Our draft plans revolve around creating an accomodation space at the aft of Animo, a classroom space (for yoga, meditation etc), workshop and mezanine work floor for some hot desks. Kristoffer's construction panel system would provide additional bubbles of space and light. The issue is finding a mooring for her in central London.
