The coach park is, indeed, inside Lewes District. However ... it is OWNED by Brighton & Hove City Council and is being given to the football club as part of the total package that transfers all the city council land that is needed for the stadium. The bit of land that belongs to the University of Brighton (ie some, but not all, of the actual stadium site) is subject to a separate transaction.

Brighton and Hove City Council actually own quite a large amount of farmland that is inside Lewes District.

Thanks Lord B. That being the case, who owns the corner bit north of the coach park. If Brighton Council own that bit as well, might as well develop it, should be able to fit a hotel in there

That field belongs to the Church Commissioners. Developing it would basically need the approval of parliament.

Forget it.

"Forget it."

Unless of course they might wish to put housing there

South East Plan - Regional Spatial Strategy Examination
The Church Commissioners for England (“Church Commissioners”) support the highest option (Option C) for 32,000 dwellings per annum in the region. In relation to the sub-region, we support the levels of growth proposed for Ashford as set out in Policy EKA1 which prioritises growth for housing and investment around Ashford, but would emphasise that this is largely dependant on the provision of adequate infrastructure, particularly relating to junction 10a of the M20.

Just to clarify - the Council has 16 weeks within which to determine the application (it would be 13 weeks but because there is an Environmental Statement involved the Council get 16 weeks.) 16 weeks from when the application was lodged with the Council is 9 February 2009.

The consultation period is not 13 or 16 weeks but 3 weeks (although will in all probability be extended and the Council will continue to accept representations right up until the time application is determined.) In theory, once the formal consultation period expires the Council could determine the application if they think everything is ok but of course in reality that won't happen here.

The 16 weeks is a target. The Council can take longer if the Club agree to it. If the Club don't agree to it then the Club can appeal against the non-determination of the application - something they would be reluctant to do.

As to how long the process actually takes is anyones guess. If the Club and its advisors have addressed all the issues in pre-application discussions and in the application then that helps but it will also depend on what the various consultees say and whether they raise any valid issues which will require further investigation/delay.

It's a wonder that anything ever gets built.
