Video from those against the Albion training academy

[Vegas Seagull]

Looks like a good site for 2,000 affordable homes with 10,000 car movements or US...
Sun was high in the sky & not a soul using it
My biggest concern is that our expensively constructed, elegant & well designed building & pitches will be overlooked by some uninspiring 70s terraced housing, are there any plans to plant trees to screen them off a touch or it might well put off some of our future foreign imports when having a recce

 

[Gary Gurr]

I listened to the first video, the chap making it had trouble walking and talking so perhaps he could make use of the training facility!

Just to echo other views.
This is the nearest expanse of flat land to Brighton, with provisional planning permission already granted.

If that was Arun District Council, they'd have 2,000 houses with 25% of those being budget housing association places taken, up by South London pikeys.

I for one would welcome the facility esp as probably 3/4ers of those family houses shown, would have someone living there, who'd use it.

These are the details. Don't what trees. Not ones with leaves that fall off. Don't what the ball going in the gardens (they might not give it back) and then there is that smashing glass feeling. There is some work to do to sort it all out. The current plan seems very hurried. It does not matter. I see it is an outline plan to agree in principle.

watched the vid from start to finish where are all the people who "use this area for nature,dog walking ect

I like the way just as he says people use the field for horse riding he points the camera to the floor to show ground which I don't think many people would want ride their horse on.

Agreed. Can they please build it in Arun and all the houses ADC want to build in an area that cannot cope can go there.

It's no wonder we had so many gormless fatheads running the fuel dry round here.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

800 will be movements so 400 in and 400 out and probably based on a worst case scenario. Tbf 400 cars visiting the training ground in one day seems mad. When is that ever going to happen!?

It's not just a training ground for the Albion's professionals. It will be a youth academy that will be more widely used than most people realise.

A reminder: This site is watched closely by detractors of the Albion's plans. We have a long history of well-informed, passionate and good-humoured campaigning that is free from threats and intimidation of those with differing views. It is VERY important we retain this approach.

Could we not Just Demolish lewes town centre and build it there

I thought Martin Perry said Albion in the Community will be in there.

 

[Fungus]

Anyone who buys a house because it has an empty bit of land next to it, is a bit naive TBH.

 

[Alfie87]

Seems a bit bias. I commented on the second vid

 

[skipper734]

I used to live in an MOD house a stones throw from Southampton's training ground. Although not on the same scale as Albion's plans, if I hadn't known where it was, I would never have known there was any sort of facility there.
It would appear that the sort of facility envisaged can only improve the area for all concerned.

 

[Fungus]

The asbestos video is funny - two guys in protective suits and masks, aided by another guy in hi-vis jacket and smoking a fag - presumably without a mask!

 

[Arkwright]

Not being from Sussex I don't know the area but looking at the pictures it is a big expanse of land. If the land owners are looking to sell either way there is going to be buildings put on it as land is a premium.

Is it green belt or even brown belt land?

I was under the impression that the training facility was not just for Albion use but also for use of the community in which case maybe the 400 cars (800 movements) would not be totally incorrect.

If I living in the area my preference would be for a Community Training Site rather than a Housing Estate.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Jesus, just watched the vid. Had to turn it off because it was making me feel like I was pissed.

 

[Birdie Boy]

a) the land is waste ground
b) it will create jobs
c) why only 800 cars? Surely it will be a perfect park and ride site on match days!
d) I thought the golf course was staying, f*** sake, cancel the training academy, there's not enough golf courses in Sussex!
e) they are only trying to get compensation.. bloody Lancing pikey's!

 

[Willy Dangle]

About that first video, if the car park only holds 300 cars surely 800 cars a day is a massive over estimation of the amount of traffic.

Even if that is correct, I wonder how many people live near a road carrying that amout of traffic, quite alot I'd guess. They're making out as if it's the end of the world when really disruption will be minimal by most people's standards

Michael owen has a fair fleet of cars and horse boxes, would probably need a bit of grazing land as well.

 

[GoldWithFalmer]

Seems to me that that land is earmarked for development no matter what,so what is the devil least likely to cause a disturbance to current residents,a training facility,an industrial estate,superstore or 100's of new houses?

 

[Eggmundo]

You're talking about a dozen or so homeowners who will be next to the entrance and are really REALLY going hammer and nails to stop this happening. They seem to be led by a retired gentleman who has all the time in the world to spend poring through details and rousing the neighbours with his battle cry ,citing it is such a community orientated plot of land, when this time last year they would of given you grief for walking down the lane (that a few residents have decided is ripe for takeover by moving fences) that leads to the area. They are enflaming the community with tales of hooligans and artic lorries thundering down their idyllic road, when truth be told it is one of and was once the roughest place in Lancing. I can see this not happening and as mentioned a housing development going on it. Nothing against housing developments but when I could have had the option of a training academy I would rather absoboodylutely have that!
