Next up is Rockwater in #Hove and to retain its six beach huts for three years #LDreporter #Brighton #Hove
It is not permanent permission and is recommended for approval. @chrishenryman has written in support. The shacks are now a feature of #Hove seafront and are popular with walkers and residents #LDreporter #Brighton
There is no bottleneck due to a new queuing system says @chrishenryman

Carol Theobald asks if they are suitable for wheelchair users #LDreporter #Brighton #Hove
There is a step and a high counter. Carol Theobald hopes wheelchair users get help.
CAG rep Jim Gowans asks about the temporary permission being a mitigating factor to the harm caused. He asks the justification #LDreporter #Brighton #Hove
Harm was considered acceptable for 6 months. It expired in December. The application is live so no action is taken at this time. Three years is acceptable because of the planning merits and the public economic benefit. #LDreporter #Brighton #Hove
The only justification is that it is a financial success for the applicant says Jim Gowans. Three years is a multiple of six. Temporary permission is the mitigation factor. We are reducing the mitigation #LDreporter #Brighton #Hove
Officers have to assess as it comes to the council. The heritage team find three years acceptable and would not cause harm to the conservation area. #LDreporter #Brighton #Hove
When Saltdean surf club wanted a hut they were told no and it would set a precedent says @bridgetbythesea She finds it interesting that a commercial business is treated differently to a community group. She wants a condition on making a hut accessible #LDreporter #Brighton #Hove
Carol Theobald thinks the shacks are great. The recommendations are a good idea to help disabled people reach the higher counters. She also hopes Rockwater get the lift sorted #LDreporter #Brighton #Hove

The shacks are a valued part of the changes to #Hove seafront and they are not detrimental to the area. @danieljyates understands why some people are concerned but is pleased to see the regeneration #LDreporter #Brighton
It is outrageous Rockwater hasn't put the lift in yet. We have to put our foot down when they ask for favours says @bridgetbythesea #LDreporter #Brighton #Hove
The vote is five for and one against granting the application.

Unanimous agreement to the condition of lowering the shelf of one of the huts.

@danieljyates is asked to ask @chrishenryman something but whoever said it did not have their mic on. #LDreporter #Brighton #Hove
