RESOLVED:

That Committee:

1. Agreed the termination of existing beach hut
licences in accordance with their terms and implementation of the
proposed new licence (see Appendix 1) to all beach hut owners,
including the addition of the transfer fee.

2. Agreed new licence terms which will come into
effect from 1 April 2024 as follows:

a) a new transfer fee (details in paragraphs 3.9 to
3.11 of this report);

b) updated termination provisions to limit the
“no fault” grounds on which the

council can terminate licences in the future
(paragraph 3.12 of this report);

c) provisions to allow for more effective and
efficient communication with beach hut owners (paragraph 3.13 of
this report).

3. Agreed that owners of any beach huts remaining on
council land after 1 April 2024 without a new licence agreement in
place be required to remove the beach hut and that officers may
take enforcement action if necessary to ensure that any unlicenced
areas are vacated.
