Gasworks Planning Application – Preview

From The Brighton Society:

View from Marine Gate. The image is taken from higher ground to the east so the true height of the new buildings is obscured by the bank and wall in the foreground

Here are a few images taken from the Berkeley Group’s planning application Ref. BH2021/04167

The planning application documents which – it is alleged – you can easily view on the Council website – are very badly and confusingly set out.  It is a nightmare for the average person trying to get some idea from the information buried in the documentation, of the sheer scale and mass of this huge development proposal.

Here are a few images we have extracted to give you a flavour of just what a massive conglomeration of tall buildings is being proposed.  

In our view it is a gross overdevelopment of the site.

It also comes with a Health Warning: these images are the ones the developer has selected to show his proposals in the best possible light using a variety of visual tricks to make the buildings appear smaller than they actually will in reality.  

If you wish to object to this hugely inappropriate development – you only have until January 21 to ensure your comments are taken account of.
