What would be wrong with some of it underground? Isn't that the new thing to-day ?
The previous regime never got itself into a situation where the City Council's planners took a stance that came as a surprise to the Club.
What's caused this breakdown in communications?
Have a look at the Aloft in London. Much more interesting design. Looks like not only do we get the Nike budget kit for the players, but the Aloft budget hotel design.
The Leader of the Council has come out in support of the application.

Blimey! Just for once I actually agree with Councillor Morgan. Interesting to note in his comments he mentioned the new arena at Black Rock. Is this project still on or about to be resurrected?
Only one thing concerns me - and perhaps [MENTION=6]Lord Bracknell[/MENTION] can advise.
It is prudent for the leader of the council - someone who doesn't sit on the planning committee - to make public comments about a planning application. Is it considered prejudicial? What are the protocols here?

The draft city plan includes proposals to extend Churchill Square down to the seafront to include a hotel and more retail outlets. The facilities at the Brighton Centre will be moved to a new conference centre at Black Rock.
......... As I understand the law, the requirement is that an applicant is required to submit a formal application, and the local planning authority needs to consider it, but - as long as the application complies with planning law and published planning policy - there is an obligation on the local planning authority to grant planning permission.
Another stupid local planning idea. And proposed on the watch of the Greens. Brighton Centre has excellent links by bus, train, foot and town centre parking. Black Rock has - oh, wait a minute.....

And anyone reading the planning officer's report will see that they don't think it does and why. Seemingly not taking on board Councillors' pre-application comments/requests/suggestions on the design and then, more or less, showing two fingers to a couple of fairly standard S106 commitments didn't really leave the officer(s) with any choice. If the recommendation to reject came as a surprise to BHA then whoever is managing the project clearly hasn't been.

Another stupid post criticising the greens for no reason. The plan to stretch Churchill square to the seafront and tear down the centre and set up an arena/facility at black rock has been around for over 10 years!
