The Newsletter of the Regency Society of Brighton & Hove Regency Review The Newsletter of the Regency Society of Brighton & Hove Issue 6 January 2003 Big changes to come across the city t a special meeting in June 2002, Athe Planning Applications Sub- Committee recommended that the Council grant permission for the PROPOSED COMMUNITY STADIUM AT VILLAGE WAY, FALMER, subject to some addi- tional information from the applicant, which has now been submitted. This will be discussed at the Committee’s 15 January meeting. Council officers have recommended that planning permission be approved. The Community Stadium applica- tion, and the application for an alterna- tive transport interchange to the north of Village Way which was refused by Lewes District Council, have been called in by the Secretary of State for his decision. A joint Local Inquiry in respect of the above and the relevant draft Local Plan Policy, SR25, will begin at Hove Town Hall on 18 February.

The chapter headings give instant clues about the tone and popularist approach adopted by the author. Chapter One, The Rape of the City, leads the reader through surveys of the history of the two towns and studies of seaside resorts worldwide, to an appraisal of the elements that make such places successful. Finally, he describes a highly controver- sial vision of the future, full of skyscrap- ers, an international airport, a museum of contemporary art and many other innova- tory ideas. It ends with “establishing the city as a thug free zone”: no controversy there. This is an unashamedly popularist production, glossy pages, full of alluring images, almost all in colour. Bold labels, stuck seemingly with casu- al informality, proclaim that this or that historic building has been “demolished”, “destroyed by fire”, “cleared for develop- ment” or “obliterated”, setting the scene for the survivors of “the glorious 18th and 19th centuries”. Dr Seldon is not at all shy about pro- claiming his own preferences: the city’s Top Ten Buildings include his own College, as well as my own home, which is very comforting to us both.

  • FINAL July 2015 I360 Jacking Tower Takes
    PRESS RELEASE - FINAL July 2015 i360 jacking tower takes attraction to new heights Progress at the Brighton i360 is on schedule, with the completion of the specially engineered temporary 60 metre high "jacking tower", which can be seen from far and wide. Said Eleanor Harris, CEO of Brighton i360, “If you have been on the seafront over the past couple of weeks, you can’t have missed the fact that the i360 construction is now well underway." David Marks, architect of the i360, said: “Building the i360 is a formidable engineering operation. The jacking tower is a vertical factory, a vertical production line. Individual steel cans go in at the bottom, and the finished tower comes out of the top, with the steel cans safely bolted together and clad in an eye-catching, diaphanous, aluminium veil.” The first few steel 'cans' were lifted into place conventionally using the giant 100 metre high crawler crane, nick-named T-Rex by the site team, but as the tower reaches higher into the sky, the jacking tower, designed by the i360's main contractor, Hollandia, will be used to lift the tower up, allowing a new can to be skidded in underneath. The new can will be bolted into place, and this process will then be repeated until all 17 cans are adjoined and the i360 tower is complete. Seven of the 17 steel cans are already in place – numbers one, two, three at the bottom, and the top four cans (cans 14, 15, 16 and 17) and the tower is now 64 meters high with the top just peeping out of the top of the jacking tower.

It has been a privilege to serve this remarkable institution in Tthis time - a period which has encompassed quite extraordinary change, not least in the newly merged boroughs of Brighton and Hove being declared as a city. Such municipal status has been emblematic of an energy for development, on many fronts, that ushers in myriad schemes for building and conversion which the Regency Society and its officers have a distinct role to play in accessing the architectural merits and sensitivities of such change and growth. These are exciting, if challenging, times. The built environment of Brighton and Hove has emerged in phases of distinct and notable styles - from our eponymous Regency, through Victorian and Edwardian epochs, significant elements of 20th century modernism, the bold and sweeping educational expansion of the 1960s, which brought us the University of Sussex, and now a much heightened general interest in new architecture, and a revived celebratory status for a range of individual architects and their practices.

  • Premier League, 2018–2019
    Premier League, 2018–2019 “The Premier League is one of the most difficult in the world. There's five, six, or seven clubs that can be the champions. Only one can win, and all the others are disappointed and live in the middle of disaster.” —Jurgen Klopp Hello Delegates! My name is Matthew McDermut and I will be directing the Premier League during WUMUNS 2018. I grew up in Tenafly, New Jersey, a town not far from New York City. I am currently in my junior year at Washington University, where I am studying psychology within the pre-med track. This is my third year involved in Model UN at college and my first time directing. Ever since I was a kid I have been a huge soccer fan; I’ve often dreamed of coaching a real Premier League team someday. I cannot wait to see how this committee plays out. In this committee, each of you will be taking the helm of an English Football team at the beginning of the 2018-2019 season. Your mission is simple: climb to the top of the world’s most prestigious football league, managing cutthroat competition on and off the pitch, all while debating pressing topics that face the Premier League today. Some of the main issues you will be discussing are player and fan safety, competition with the world’s other top leagues, new rules and regulations, and many more. If you have any questions regarding how the committee will run or how to prepare feel free to email me at [email protected].

The LAA has been updated annually and is based on the Plan Area for the East Sussex, South Downs and Brighton & Hove Waste & Minerals Plan which was adopted in February 2013. This document represents the fourth LAA for the mineral planning authorities of East Sussex County Council, Brighton & Hove City Council and the South Downs National Park Authority and examines updates to the position on aggregates supply and demand since the time of last reporting in 2015. The first three LAAs concluded that a significant proportion of local consumption was derived from either marine dredged material, crushed rock or land won aggregates extracted from outside the Plan Area.

  • Cycling Ambition in National Parks: Request for Funding Proposals
    Cycling Ambition in National Parks: Request for funding proposals Information Note and Application Form 1. The Cycling Ambition Grants (CAG) Fund launched in 2013. The aim was to invest in cycling infrastructure, supporting the Coalition Government’s vision to achieve a step change in cycling. The Government sees that greater levels of safe cycling in and around National Parks can unlock a range of cross cutting economic and social benefits that enable growth, such as improved health and wellbeing, higher productivity through improved fitness, improved public realm and attractive spaces, unlocking capacity on road and public transport networks, creation of new social enterprises and businesses which support cycling services and better linked communities enabling more choice for getting around within and between neighbourhoods. 2. The Department continues to be keen on supporting initiatives which are part of a strategy geared to supporting more cycling in rural areas. The Department looks favourably on schemes that have a strategic approach, are sustainable and support the future development of the local cycling infrastructure. Successful schemes should: • encourage and enable recreational visits to, from and around National Parks by cycle; • encourage and enable people living and/or working in and around National Parks to travel for day-to-day journeys by cycle. 3. Grants provided to Authorities - partnered with National Parks - were to deliver infrastructure improvements to enable more people to cycle in and around the National Parks. Four National Parks (and eight Cities) were funded in 2013 through the CAG programme. 4. The Department has now identified a surplus of capital funds to the value of £1.575m, which it wishes to re-allocate through a mini-competition.
