Only problem here is that the B&HCC website does not currently show that the application has been validated (ie accepted) by the Council. Until this is done, it is not possible to comment/support/object online.

I wonder whether more than the 90 or so supporters (majority were from outside B&H) who registered support for the Withdean extension and Stanmer Park access road applications will be arsed for this? How many NSC members are there?

Dear Sirs



BRIGHTON & HOVE ALBION – STADIUM CHANGES APPLICATION

NO BH2008/02732



I am writing in support of the Planning Application submitted by Brighton & Hove Albion for changes to their new stadium at Falmer because:



· The original application was considered very carefully at two Public Inquiries and the Government came to the conclusion that the stadium should be permitted.



· The key principles permitted by the Secretary of State included:



o The iconic design

o The siting, location and orientation of the stadium

o Agreed capacity of the Stadium (22,500)

o Agreed roof height at the main roof level and the top of the arch

o The sustainable transport strategy

o Acceptable environmental impact



None of these principles have been changed in the new application.



· The proposals to place the chalk on the adjoining field eliminates 22,000 lorry movements on the local road network



· Placing the chalk on the adjoining field recycles this material rather than transporting it to landfill



· The reduction in lorry movements substantially reduces the carbon emissions from the proposed development (saving over 1,000 tonnes)



· The agricultural grading and value of the adjoining field will be increased when the chalk re-profiling is completed



· The introduction of the Educational use under the East Stand in place of Commercial Office development increases the social and economic benefits that the stadium will deliver including creating greater opportunities for education, skills training and job creation.



· The revised bowl design has been reconfigured to improve the access for disabled supporters and gives them more comfortable and much better viewing positions



The stadium development is very important because it is not just a new home for Brighton & Hove Albion. The Secretary of State in her letter when she gave consent for the development, said that “there is a considerable local need for the proposed development and that it would bring significant regeneration and socio- economic benefits to one of the most deprived areas of the country, which she found to be in the national interest”.



The changes to the stadium design have been made necessary by the large amount of new legislation that has been enacted since the original plans were submitted but in themselves do not change the overall principles of the development.



I formally ask the Planning Committee to approve these changes.



Yours sincerely

The more the better, pass the letter on to friends, family. You don't even have to be a seagulls fan to pledge your support.
