Beach Huts

Where are the beach huts?

Fareham has two beach hut locations both at Hill Head, the first at Monks Hill which has 60 sites and the other at Cliff Road which has 111 sites.

How do I buy a beach hut?

The beach huts are privately owned , therefore the Council do not hold details on beach huts that are for sale. 

How much does it cost to rent the land on which the beach hut is sited?

The beach huts are privately owned, however each owner will enter into an agreement with the council for use of the site. This will include the payment of an annual plot rent and national non-domestic rates on the hut.

• For Fareham residents the rent for 2025 is £679.00 per annum; this includes VAT
• For non-residents the rent for 2025 is £1,358.00 per annum; this includes VAT

How much does it cost to purchase a beach hut?

It is between the vendor and prospective owner to negotiate a purchase price for the beach hut as the huts themselves are private property.  The Council is not involved in their individual valuations, however the price may vary according to size, condition and location.

Do I need planning permission to replace my hut?

When a beach hut (or any property) is demolished then in planning terms it is treated as though it has never existed. As such a planning application is required.
