An article was published on August 11 regarding 128 King's Road. Plans to demolish the listed Regency building and replace it with an "art-deco style" block of flats were turned down and the decision is now going to appeal.
You stated that "attempts to transform a seafront eyesore into a modern apartment block were thwarted by conservationists".
This planning application was, in fact, turned down by councillors on the planning applications sub-committee, not conservationists.
It was a cross-party decision. We felt this was a wholly inappropriate design in that setting, within a conservation area.
-Coun Averil Older, Central Hove, Brighton and Hove City Council
