So, the proposed eight-storey block of flats at Rottingdean is "inappropriate for the location" and council officers are recommending it be scrapped (The Argus, August 27).

What makes this any different to the 38-storey crushed cans on Hove seafront? These are inappropriate for the location.

Why does the council have such double standards? The numbers of letters against these towers far outways the prolobby and once again the council ignores the views of the voting public in preference to business.

It's time it got its priorities right.
