Agenda Item No.7 Committee: Planning and Highways Sub Agenda Item No.7 Committee: Planning and Highways Sub Committee Date: 13 February 2002 Report by: Director of Transport and Environment Proposal: Proposed community stadium with accommodation for class B1 business, educational, conference, club shop merchandise, entertainment and food and drink uses, together with associated landscaping and transportation facilities including road works, pedestrian and cycle links, coach/bus park and set down area, shared use of existing car park space at the University of Sussex and shared use of land for recreation and parking at Falmer High School. Site Address: (a) Land north of Village Way, Falmer, Brighton. (b) Land south of Village Way, Falmer, Brighton. Application No (a) BH/2001/02418/FP (b) BH/2001/02419/FP Applicant: Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club Ltd. Issues: · Justification for major development in the Sussex Downs AONB including social and economic impacts on East Sussex. · Environmental impact on character of landscape and local communities of East Sussex by way of scale, design and noise. · Transport impact. · Waste. RECOMMENDATION:- EAST SUSSEX COUNTY COUNCIL STRATEGIC REPRESENTATIONS To resolve to inform Brighton & Hove City Council that whilst it is acknowledged that a new stadium serving the City could bring significant social and economic benefits to the local and wider community, Village Way, Falmer is an inappropriate location for a major football stadium and associated development and these applications should be refused as contrary to Structure Plan and local plan policies, for the following reasons: 1. The applicant has failed to submit adequate evidence as part of these planning applications that: (a) a countryside location is necessary and that no suitable alternative sites exist elsewhere, contrary to structure plan policies S10, EN5, LT14 and Planning Policy Guidance Notes (PPGs) 6 and 7; and, (b) alternatives to design and layout and meeting the need for the development by other means have been genuinely considered, contrary to the requirements of PPG7 and Circular 2/99 (Environmental Impact Regulations); 2. The proposed schemes represent inappropriate development within this nationally designated AONB landscape at Falmer, specifically: (a) because of their scale and nature they would adversely affect the character and quality of the AONB landscape and Falmer Village and the adverse impact could not be effectively mitigated, contrary to structure plan policies, S1 and EN1-3; (b) the schemes are not compatible with the purpose of the AONB designation to protect the landscape and scenic beauty, contrary to advice found in PPG17 (1991) and draft revisions (March 2001); (c) the proposals would erode the important countryside gap separating the village of Falmer and the City of Brighton & Hove, contrary to Structure Plan policy S1(k); and (d) no compensatory measures have been proposed to offset the loss of designated landscape contrary to structure plan policy EN2(f); 3. Insufficient information has been provided to assess realistically the extent and severity of noise impacts on the tranquillity of the Downs and the village of Falmer, contrary to Structure Plan policies S1(b) and EN3; 4. The proposals would hinder the implementation of the "Academic Corridor” as the Village Way North proposal would involve the loss of land allocated (subject to strict tests) for university or business uses and both proposals would compromise the implementation of the permission for business use at Woollards Field, contrary to Structure Plan policy E14 and EP7 of the adopted Brighton Borough Plan; and 5. It is not clear that all appropriate transport services and infrastructure for access, parking and other non car means of access necessary to ensure safe access and highway safety can be put in place, contrary to structure plan policies TR1(i) and TR3 and the Transport Assessment does not include the potential traffic impacts on the Village Way/B2123 junction or those arising from other non-stadium uses. 6. Brighton & Hove City Council should also be informed that the proposals are considered premature as they could prejudice the outcome of the forthcoming local plan inquiry in to the Brighton & Hove Local Plan. CONSIDERATION BY DIRECTOR OF TRANSPORT AND ENVIRONMENT 1. The Proposal Introduction 1.1 The County Council has been consulted as a neighbouring authority on two separate applications for football stadia at neighbouring sites at Falmer, located within the Sussex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Although located in the City of Brighton & Hove, both have potential impacts on the western part of the County. Due to the marked similarity between the two schemes and sites, they are both considered in this report. 1.2 Applications BH/2001/02418/FP (land at Village Way North) and BH/2001/02419/FP (land at Village Way South) for full planning permission are in essence alternative proposals for development of a 22,000 seater football stadium on adjacent sites. The scale, bulk and form of the proposals and their composition of uses are similar. The key differences of the schemes arise from their respective locations, namely; · The proposal north of Village Way proposes a stadium occupying part of the campus of the University of Brighton and would entail the demolition of university buildings to accommodate the scheme. This application does not, however, include proposals to replace any lost buildings other than indicating where replacements may be located. The site area spills over Village Way to accommodate the turning and parking areas. · Land South of Village Way is located on the prominent downland slopes, but would involve the development of section of land north of Village way to enable access to the rail station and the underpass to Sussex University to take place. 1.3 The Village Way South proposal appears to be an alternative to avoid the demolition of the University of Brighton buildings. 1.4 Both proposals encroach on to the land owned by the County Council, at Woollards Field, in order to provide access to car parking. Background to the Proposal 1.5 The “Taylor Report” (1989) recommended a number of crowd safety measures for football stadiums in the UK. This included the phased introduction of all seater stadiums at the 92 football league grounds in the country. 1.6 Brighton & Hove Albion FC (BHAFC) needed to relocate, as its original ground (Goldstone) was unsuitable for these regulatory improvements. However, the Goldstone Ground was sold before an alternative home was found, forcing the Club to enter into a ground sharing agreement with Gillingham FC. 1.7 The Club returned to the City in 1999 following the granting of a temporary permission to upgrade the Withdean stadium to football league standards. The return of the Club to Brighton, it is argued, has brought about an increased demand for tickets following poor attendance figures whilst playing at Gillingham. Site 1.8 As noted in the introduction to this report, the sites of Village Way north and south are located within the AONB on the eastern edge of the City of Brighton & Hove. The landform falls from a height of 105 metres above ordnance datum (AOD) at the Village Way south site to approximately 70 metres AOD at the Village Way north site where the undeveloped downland meets the northern border defined by the Lewes – Brighton rail line. The downland forms an open north/south valley bisected by an embankment forming Village Way. The campus of the University of Brighton (forming part of the site area for the Village Way North proposal) lies to the west. The woodland known as the Westlain plantation forms the western boundary for the Village Way South site. There are no natural features defining a boundary to the east. 1.9 Village Way forms the access to the University of Brighton from the B2123 (The Drove). The Drove running north south links the A259 at Rottingdean to the A27 at Falmer. The easternmost part of the proposal site is some 70 metres from the junction of Village Way with the Drove. 1.10 The small downland village of Falmer, and its conservation area, lies less than 300 metres from the boundary of both sites. 1.11 Village Way north has a site area of 16.7 hectares, whilst the Village Way south proposal is 18.2 hectares in area. The Proposal 1.12 The development proposals entail the development of a football pitch with four stands with ancillary facilities and parking and other associated development, including B1 office space and education facilities. This is proposed to take place over a period of 7 – 10 years and is divided in to four phases designed to accommodate an anticipated increase in crowd numbers. 1.13 Common elements of both schemes include: · A two-tier west stand (to be built as part of the initial phase of development) providing the main accommodation for spectators (10,718 covered seats and hospitality boxes), ancillary facilities. The west stand would also incorporate: o a banqueting/conference suite capable of accommodating 500 persons; o nursery/crèche and a homework club/learning hub for up to 50 students of 11-18 years of age and adult education programmes; and o 720 sq.m of teaching space (for use by the University of Brighton). · A single tier temporary east stand (also built as part of the first phase) with 3,600 seats · A permanent east stand with 6,888 seats to be built as part of the second phase increasing the stadium total second phase capacity to 17,606 seats, replacing the temporary stand. This stand would also include commercial floor space comprising 1,200 sq.m of hi-tech office space suitable for use as an “Innovation Centre” or for accommodating business starter units aimed at fostering employment linkages with the two nearby universities. · A north stand with 2,384 seats, to be built as the third phase · A south stand, also with 2,384 seats, to be built as the fourth phase, bringing total seating capacity to 22,374 · access and traffic arrangements directly affecting East Sussex involve: § a bus/coach park, set down area, parking for players, VIPs and disabled to be accessed from Village Way and the B2123 in East Sussex; § shared parking with the University of Sussex (accessed from East Sussex County Council’s highway network).

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.

  • Newsletter October 2018
    “The Ammonite” October 2018 Welcome to this edition of the Ammonite as, despite a late flurry of lovely hot sunshine, we prepare for the first matches of the cross country season. I would like to say a massive thank you, as ever, to all my contributors this month - and if you would like to tell your fellow club members about your athletic highs and lows then please let me have your contributions, articles and photos, by October 29th. Karin Divall [email protected] Malaga 2018- Jonathan Burrell The World Masters Championships take place every two years, with runners aged 35 and over competing within five-year age bands. During the first two weeks of September, the 2018 championships were held in the Spanish city of Malaga attracting 8000 competitors from more than 100 countries. Waiting apprehensively for my flight from Gatwick, I wondered whether I had been too ambitious in entering this event, having never previously competed at a level beyond regional competitions. I was pleased to see Ciaran Harvey, the other Lewes AC athlete bound for Malaga; Ciaran, a sprinter, had previously taken part in three global events and was able to give me advice and reassurance. Once in Malaga, the first task was to go through the processes of confirming race entries, collecting numbers and most importantly purchasing GB kit (all competitors were required to run in their national colours). My first race was an 8km cross country event, held in a pine forest on the edge of nearby Torremolinos. I was in the M55 category. The course was four laps of a narrow, undulating track through the tightly- packed trees.

  • Adopted Local Plan-27-03-07-B&H+Index.Qxp
    SR23 Community stadium A new football / community stadium and multi-purpose sports hall is proposed on land adjoining Village Way North, together with sports science / sports medicine facilities linked to the Universities of Brighton and Sussex. Any development proposals must be accompanied by: a. environmental impact assessment; b. transport assessment; and c. business plan. 6 In the event that the site proves to be unsuitable for a stadium, the site will be allocated for Class B1 research and development use. (See policy EM20 Village Way North). 6.90 Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club is currently occupying Withdean Stadium on a temporary basis. This venue is not regarded as an adequate, permanent Shopping, recreation and leisure - maintaining vitality viability venue due to its limited size and location. A site at Falmer is proposed but this location was recommended for rejection by the Local Plan Inspector. A planning application Inquiry into a proposal by Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club for a community stadium incorporating the site identified by policy SR23 at Falmer, was called in by the First Secretary of State. The Inquiry was reopened in February 2005. The re-opened inquiry examined the availability or otherwise of alternative sites within the Brighton & Hove conurbation for the proposed development. If the First Secretary of State decides that the allocated site at Falmer is not the most appropriate site, then policy SR23 will be superseded. 6.91 Pending the examination of alternative sites, it is proposed to retain the site allocation at Village Way North. Policy SR16 sets out a framework for dealing with proposals for major sporting and recreational facilities on sites that are not allocated in the Plan and would be applied in respect of any proposal for a community stadium on a site other than Village Way North.

  • Goldstone Amex Walk Booklet.Indd
    LAYING THE GHOST OF THE GOLDSTONE GROUND A Self-Guided Walk from The Goldstone to the American Express Community Stadium via Withdean Stadium Introduction Map legend (NB maps are not to scale) The opening of the American Express Community Stadium fi nally allows us to say goodbye to the Goldstone Ground on our own terms, a Route contrast to the trauma of 26 April 1997. It’s time to lay the ghost of the Goldstone, exorcise the Archer demon – and, for those yet to gaze upon Grassy area the retail park, perhaps take this opportunity to see what they did. Directions This pamphlet describes a symbolic route from Hove Park to the Woodland (numbered) Amex Stadium via our temporary venue at Withdean. It’s 6.4 miles long and climbs to 551 feet above sea level. It keeps away from traffi c where possible and leads through some quiet parts of the city with wide views Golf fairway/green and past places of Albion interest. It’s my idea of the best route. There is no organised walk. It is not intended as a march, protest, Albion point demonstration or triumphal display. It is, for each of us, a personal Roads/Traffi c lights of interest journey; there is no timetable, no time-limit. It is a self-guided walk that Paths can be undertaken at any time (although it would be diffi cult in the dark). It will probably take the average walker two to three hours. Railway/Bridge If you wish to undertake this walk, you do so at your own risk.
