As I can see from the brochure published by Karis Holding to promote its development at the King Alfred site in Hove,

the beach will disappear, replaced by concrete steps descending all the way to the sea.

Am I the only person who noticed that? Obviously the shock caused by the disproportionate size of this ghastly development is enough to generate a wave of protest on its own.

However, I would like to call attention to the fact that we're not only going to be overshadowed by tower blocks but we're also going to lose the most basic feature of our seafront - the beach itself.
