Brighton and Hove Albion will have to fine tune its financial plans before land can be released to build a new stadium, city councillors have been warned.

The council has to be satisfied the Albion's business plan for Falmer is watertight before it can hand over the land earmarked for the stadium and the property rights.

But as the long-running public inquiry into the stadium proposal continues, members of the council's policy committee have been told this has not yet been achieved.

A report to councillors said: "Analysis of the case shows it is some way off providing a business case robust enough to satisfy the council."

Meanwhile, Sussex University is demanding changes to the terms of its council lease for its Falmer campus before it will allow people to park there on match days.

The university wants more freedom over what events are allowed to take place on the campus.

Another deal between the city council, the Albion and Brighton University, which owns part of the site, has also yet to be signed, despite an eight-hour meeting.
