Furious beach hut owners have been given a “devastating” ultimatum in the latest saga of their battle with local authorities. Owners of the wooden structures on North Beach in Heacham, Norfolk, received letters this week saying their 10-year leases would be replaced by annual “licenses”. They were told they must accept the new terms, due to be enforced from next month, or either remove their huts or surrender them to West Norfolk Council. The local authority sparked backlash when it announced plans to sell the land beneath the 105 beach huts last year, eventually backing down after an outcry led by the hut owners. Antonia Hayes, who has owned a beach hut on the stretch for six years, said the council’s latest move would force her into a “devastating legal downgrade”. “A lease is a legal interest in land,” she told the Eastern Daily Press. “It gives us a security of tenure and makes it difficult and expensive for a landlord to evict us without good reason. “A license is merely permission to be there. …

Solar States owner Micah Gold-Markel carries a solar panel from a truck to the house where it will be installed. Jeff Brady/NPR hide caption toggle caption Jeff Brady/NPR PHILADELPHIA — On a recent cold morning, Micah Gold-Markel helped his installation crew hoist new solar panels onto the roof of a two-story, red brick house. The installation was like many others his company, Solar States, has performed since 2008, with one big difference: This time, the homeowner isn’t buying the panels. Instead, the homeowner will lease the panels from another company, called LightReach. For most of his own company’s history, Gold-Markel avoided leasing. With these arrangements, sometimes called subscriptions or power purchase agreements (PPAs), a third party owns the panels and leases them back to the homeowner.
