Lancing Parish Council

Lancing Parish Council was set up in 1894. It covers the area between Shoreham-by-sea and Worthing from Western Road (adjacent to Brooklands) and Sompting in the west through to the River Adur in the east. It stretches from the beach and coast inland to include part of the South Downs.

Beach Huts

The council is responsible for more than 275 beach hut sites. Beach Green and West Beach (Widewater) hold the greater number and the huts located at these sites are considered permanent erections.

In all cases, the council ownership is for the site only. Beach huts are purchased and erected privately by the licence holder.

Scale of Charges from 1st April 2011 until 31st March 2014

The waiting lists are only currently open to residents of Lancing or Sompting.
