A recent article by Roz Waters in the Advertiser & Times has revealed that 46 beach huts at Hordle Cliff are in the process of having their licenses terminated by the New Forest District Council.
The beach huts are individually owned, but the land on which they sit is owned by NFDC. So, if the NFDC withdraws permission the owner is responsible for removing the beach hut. Prior to this, the huts had a value of around £25,000 each.
Over recent years many beach huts have already been destroyed due to violent storms and coastal erosion.
Less than a year ago 25 unsafe and damaged huts were removed by NFDC.
Under the Hurst Spit to Lymington Strategy, there are no plans to protect this strip of Milford on Sea coastline. www.hurstspit2lymington.co.uk.
As a result, local resident, Mark Jardine has proposed an ambitous plan to try to do something about protecting this area of beach. To read more, please click here.
