New Monks Farm Development

[BRIGHT ON Q]

What's the latest on the hotel at the Amex?

 

[Dumseagull]

They mention Manor close, but what about the Hassler estate (west way/Broadway) the other side of the flood plain? That estate floods continuously already! surely those residents need some reassurances here to? i hope the club has paid a few visits to this estate to see the 1-2 feet of water that regularly accumulates there.

but im sure they have, if ever there was a trusted developer, its Mr Bloom!

I take it this is on the land that was developed for a golf course that went phutt.

Wonder if there will be a bat collision event though

30% affordable housing

Knowing Brighton, there will be about six crusty people in their 70s who will manage to block it.

Will STHs get a discount?

Brighton refused IKEA permission for a store at Hollingbury a few years ago. Fortunately, Lancing isn't in Brighton.

The traffic problem will never be resolved until they either create a bypass across the downs or make the A27 a dual carriageway from lyons farm onwards. That's where the bottleneck forms.

Traffic Jams are part of the IKEA experience though so don't expect anything different!

But.... It's not Brighton, and I think that's the point.

The Hotel was blocked in Brighton, and I feel the club realise that building anything of any significance (with a few notable exceptions) is hugely difficult in Brighton. Adur seem much more realistic and amenable.

 

[Blue3]

As a resident of Lancing I very much welcome this announcement and wish all parties involved the best of luck, if this comes to fruition it will be a major boost to the area in jobs, road infrastructure and very much needed homes.

Mr Bloom you are a true Sussex philanthropist

 

[Rogero]

How much will the Albion make from this?

 

[el punal]

There you have it! Instant do-it-yourself, fold-up seats for when safe standing comes into being at the Amex. Each fan will be issued with a mini screwdriver and spanner kit. A dedicated team will also be on hand to help assemble structure for those of you who are DIY-phobes (a small fee will be required). In addition each fan will be given a voucher for Ikea's Super Special Swedish Meatballs available at all the concourse kiosks.

Tut tut.. It's all about Alan Keys nowadays.

 

[Bakero]

So we're going to spend 170 million on a poxy sofa shop but we can't afford to spend 5 million on a striker. Sort it out Bloom.

Are we building Ikea for them then?

 

[Jam The Man]

As a local then, do you think there will be the usual local objections ?

I think it will be mixed. Some seem very pleased, others are horrified - the same people who were horrified at the thought of the training ground.

I think it will be great, and am looking forward to my garden NOT being flooded for a change!

 

[Notters]

What's the latest on the hotel at the Amex?

I imagine they may turn their attention back to that when this is dealt with.

 

[atomised]

How much will the Albion make from this?

Not much, a developers profit as per Martin Perry in the article

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

How much will the Albion make from this?

'Developer profit' is normally 20% of the gross development value.

Or encourage people to use alternatives to their cars?
