Decision due on new Littlehampton beach huts

The application to add to the huts already sited on the beach at Sea Road, near the putting green, will be looked at during a meeting on Wednesday (March 8).

A previous application for 20 new huts was refused in 2021.

If approved this time, three of the huts would include a path and ramp to make them accessible to people with mobility issues.

The council has received 20 objections to the plans, with concerns including whether the extra huts were needed and fears that that part of the beach was being turned into ‘a wall of huts’.

The latter concern was shared by Littlehampton Town Council which sent an objection saying the new huts would fill in the gaps between those already on the beach.

The town council also said it would be ‘more appropriate’ to make all the huts accessible to wheelchairs.
