Resubmission of the Marina Tower

Resubmission of the Marina Tower Planning Application. Down those Nimbys!!

Sounds very good....again! Yet, bound to be met by the Nimbys. Of course they have a right to object, but this is a huge step forward for Brighton and provide affordable housing that we so badly need.

 

[D'Angelo Saxon]

They've added a public viewing platform at the top of the tower. That would be seriously dope!

I don't think that 40 storeys over the sea is QUITE that high, frankly - that looks more like a light aircraft's perspective. But it would be great nonetheless.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Bound to scare the nimbys. A detailed scale photo would be much better. However, it does look very tall from this image.

 

[Edward Scissorhands]

Anything to piss off the NIMBYs

 

[Superseagull]

Will the Regency Society be able to cope with all these proposed builds. Marina Towers, King Alfred, Brighton Centre, West Peir Pod, Black Rock Ice rink, Falmer! I can imagine all this stress must be getting too much for most of the old crusty Nimbys.

 

[Lush]

Normally I'm massively in favour of exciting new developments. New hi-tech West Pier? - yes please! Gehry Towers - why not? But there's something about this that just smacks of developers wanting to make as much money as possible from a little bit of land in a fab location by - ooh - building it as high as f***ing possible.

 

[ditchy]

Can see all the old biddies in Marine Gate not liking their view of the sea interupted

 

[Norman Baker suck my lozenge]

Looks great,but this part of England is teaming with spitefull little nimbys,the tower will never be built.

 

[CHAPPERS]

I like it. It will not be built.

Why not, though? We can't go north, west, south or east, so we may as well go UP.

 

[Rougvie]

Hmmm, NOT good news for the many many light aircraft that navaigate their way back to Shoreham along the seafront when the fog closes in without much warning.

I dont fancy living there.

Yeah cos that's worked really well in the past hasn't it? And people are so much MORE tolerant of each other these days.

You can't compare that structure to any of the other high rise buildings in Brighton. They were constructed in times of lax planning laws, when the developers ruled the roost.

This is a structure to be proud of.

Hey, it provides the Argus letters page with plenty of fiction based fluff to fill two sides with.


A typical Argus letters page these days consists of the following:

-Six letters from parents complaining about the great Brighton school catchment area debate

-One grossly misinformed geriatric buffoon blustering about how beautiful Falmer is and wondering if anybody's ever considered building a stadium at Waterhall

-Two NIMBY letters, one of which will be from Selma Montford, whining about how the Regency skyline will inevitably be ruined forever if developers are allowed to build so much as a dog kennel on the outskirts of Woodingdean

-One from Ray Wootton, Stanmer Avenue, Saltdean, suggesting that National Service would sort out modern day yobs, and stating "bring back the birch"

-One complaining about something of deep national significance, such as the fact that they saw a cyclist riding down Western Road with a slightly cracked reflector on the front and how the police should clamp down on such blatantly dangerous practices

-another claiming the police should stop wasting their time on targeting innocent speeding motorists and cyclists, and concentrate on catching murderers and rapists

-one claiming that nobody with less than 25 years of residency in Brighton has any right to a say in city issues

-a ludicrous and cringeingly badly written poem about migrating sparrows from some idealistic old Doris in Seaford

 

[WATFORD zero]

Have you ever thought of letting someone else edit the argus, Edna ?

 

[Bwian]

Brighton (at least some of its residents) needs a serious kick up its backside when it comes to new developments. All of the great places in the world manage to build spectacular new buildings whilst retaining and respecting their old buildings. Shit-even parts of Cyprus with its 5000 year old culture and buildings embraces the new. Some of London's best views now include the new buildings built alongside the old.

A city is a city for feck's sake! If you want uninterupted views of the sea-move to a f***ing small fishing village. Not an ex-fishing village that is now a city by the sea.....

Amen

Combined with Bwians post about Cyrpus accepting new buildings, and that is a surefire winner of a letter to the argus!!

You forgot the pointless piece about some b-movie actor famous for her role as third house wife in the thirties romantic comedy watch out darky, who died in Boredom, Indiana some time in the 60's.
