When is Hove going to have a proper, informed discussion about the proposals for the King Alfred site?

Every time Gehry's plan reappears in The Argus, another bit has been whittled away to make the building more palatable - but to who exactly?

Certainly not the people who live in Brighton and Hove who will have to live in the shadow of this blot on the landscape.

Towers have been ruled out at the marina, the Hove Station site and recently, at Hove Lagoon. Why, then, are we wasting everyone's time and energy in trying to put two towers on the seafront?

These towers are for "luxury" accommodation. That means rich, second-home owners with too many 4x4 cars being able to buy into what would be one of the best views in the country - a view which belongs to everyone - not the council, the developers or Gehry.

Also, can we please put Brad Pitt's involvement to sleep? Pitt is an over-paid actor not an architect. We do not need to be buttered up with Hello magazine-style endorsements about his designs.

Gehry claims he is listening and intends to be "a good neighbour".

What does he mean? He lives in the US. We are the ones who will have to live next to this cultural disaster.

As for the comments by the recently-elected MP Celia Barlow, who said the proposed plan was "the most beautiful thing" she had ever seen, I wonder if she gets out enough.
