Announcement 03 January 2007

The new year has brought a major new step in the story of the proposed redevelopment of the King Alfred site. The January 2007 issue of Insight City News (ICN), a free publication distributed across Brighton & Hove, contains a letter proposing an alternative to the present proposals. There is considerable criticism of the current plans.

Before now local personalities or members of the business community have not broken rank and criticised the Gehry design proposals. Even in previous issues of ICN mention of the proposals was frequently very favourable. We wait to see the substance of the concept that was mentioned. The key point is that the short-comings of the proposed plans are aired and debated before the project is approved with many flaws..

Concerned residents are urged to make their views known to the Planning Department at Brighton & Hove City Council. The Planning Application number is BH2006/03429 and must be stated in any correspondence along with name and address.
