have applied for planning permission for a new entrance and car parking .

 

[Seagull73]

Mmm, planning to cash in is he? How interesting.

 

[JJ McClure]

Wouldn't it be a shame if people objected...

 

[scooter1]

If he was planning to cash in he should pick his pub up and put it on the other side of the A27. I can't see he'll get a lot of football trade where he is. Most fans would be better placed going to the Uni bars, nearer the station and cheaper - thats assuming there would be no issues surrounding non-students getting a drink in there. There never was in all the years I worked over the road at Southern Water and drank in the Uni bars at lunchtimes

 

[South Yarra Seagull]

LOL - Hypocritical isn't the half of it.

LOVE to see some friendly residents object....

 

[Lankyseagull]

Think I'll object on the grounds of increased traffic potentially delaying my arrival at games at the new stadium!

 

[The Grub]

I heard he was in support of the stadium and had been for a few years, don't know where that came from though?

His bank manager

I got a PM from a certain well-known NSC member telling me that the landlord was closing down the pub and converting it back to houses - so much for that rumour.

Would the uni bars be open? They seem to have strange opening hours, I tried to get a drink there when I went to a concert at the Gardner Centre and they were shut - it was only 6.45 in the evening.

I thought The Swan was in the half of the village on the south side of the A27 but then i've never actually been in the village

I am not AT ALL suggesting that you go to

http://www.lewes.gov.uk/AF3/an/default.aspx/RenderForm/?F.Name=JbZraDFbFHu

And fill in the details to lodge an objection to application number LW/07/0813 before August 24th. Oh no.

I feel that a new pub entrance and car park will UTTERLY RUIN the beautiful view across the HISTORIC chalk downs to the SUPERB new stadium for the community. What's more, to allow more people to use the pub car park is BOUND to lead to an increase in drinking and driving, meaning that pubgoers are MORE LIKELY to collide with members of the local bat community.

Would a large ugly car-park not impinge upon the tranquility of this historic, beautiful, unspoilt downland village?

I'd say judging by the Anti-Football stadium petitions in both bars he was'nt fully in support of our new ground.

As for location, its on the university side of the A27 - on the Lewes side of the footbridge - hardly even Falmer really, more of a no mans land. IMHO its a horrible little place regardless of the landlords political leanings

Why not combine the two and object online? It takes five minutes

Application reference LW/07/0813

 

[Mendoza]

There are much better, economically viable, feasable places around Sussex to have a new car park.
May I suggest to him that he considers putting the car park at either
Brighton Station
Upper Beeding Cement Works
Toads Hole Valley
Sheepcote Valley
Coral Greyhounds Stadium
Shoreham Harbour

At any of those sites, there is less chance of vehicle/badger collisions than at the AONB of Falmer Haven

 

[The Clown of Pevensey Bay]

Yes that's right. We're not against him HAVING a pub car park. We just don't think it should be next to his pub.

 

[supaseagull]

Done it - Spread the word man!

Shame you couldn't spell Swan, supaseagull. I'm impressed that Moulsecoomb is right, though.
