The Secretary of State for Transport has considered objections lodged by Arun Yacht Club Ltd, Littlehampton Yacht Club Ltd, and Broomer Farm Trading Limited, trading as Littlehampton Marina under Section 31 of the Harbours Act 1964 (‘the 1964 Act’) on the harbour dues charged by Littlehampton Harbour Board (‘the harbour authority’) from 1 April 2018 to 31 March 2019 and 1 April 2019 to 31 March 2020 (‘the 2018 to 2019 and 2019 to 2020 harbour dues’).
