The King Alfred Sports Centre story goes on and on.
Will the fact the architect, Frank Gehry, is to be wheeled out in front of our 54 councillors provide anything new or will it betray a siege mentality where this seafront abomination is concerned?
As one of only a few people to have spent time at the Gillespie tall buildings study, I am truly perplexed as to how it could have identified the seafront as somewhere suitable for buildings above six stories high (and with no upper limit).
How it is suitable to wall off the sun and the sea beats me.
A suitable site for the Gehry/Kaits team to strut their breast-beating stuff would be Hove Station, identified by Gillespie as one of the five "nodes" which could take tall buildings.
It is an area of crumbling, light-industrial buildings, where a well thought out plan could solve many problems and provide enabling finance for the King Alfred.
