When the designs of the Hollingdean Waste transfer station site were first sent out, they showed no signs of traffic movement in Hollingdean Lane by Downs Infants School.

When I rang Jenny Rowlands, Brighton and Hove City Council's environment director, she said there were no plans to use the road by the school.

But now, in the latest bulletin, paragraph 3.5 says restricting vehicle use is being considered in Hollingdean Lane.

So instead of a distance of 22.63 metres between the school and the nearest building, the distance between the playground and Hollingdean Lane will be about five metres, with 400 vehicles a day driving on site. The noise and air pollution will be immense.

Paragraph 3.6 admits there are no powers to address traffic noise. If this development had been built first, the school would not have been allowed to be built where it now is.

David Lepper MP said it the plant should not be built there.

Paragraph 1.7 says the proposed hours for lorries using the site will be 7am to 6pm, Monday to Sunday, although it says working hours may increase if recycling also increases.

Paragraph 1.8 says as many as 30 jobs will be created. But this applies wherever the site is built. For the sake of the children at Downs School and the surrounding areas, this is no place for this building.
