Forum’s objection to KAP Planning application BH2018/03356

The Hove Station Neighbourhood Forum supports the principle of a mixed-use redevelopment of the KAP site, but OBJECTS to this application, on the grounds of OVER-DEVELOPMENT, which includes unacceptably high 8 and 11 storey blocks, and very limited provision of ‘affordable’ housing, However, the project includes many of the features of an appropriate mixed use development which should be included in a revised submission.

The Forum is proposing to establish a community hub in the immediate vicinity of the Station premises. If you’re interested in joining the Hove Station Improvement group and/or helping with petitions and getting the local businesses involved please get in touch.

Article in Brighton and Hove News about the Forum’s “Have Your Say Day”

The Hove Station Neighbourhood Forum is holding a “Have Your Say Day” to share updates on plans to build almost 1,000 homes in the area.

It is the sixth feedback day to be organised by the group and will include information about schemes at the top of Sackville Road, in Newtown Road and Ellen Street.

The forum said that its “big idea” was that regeneration should not be a piecemeal collection of unconnected developments.

Call for major improvements to Hove Station Footbridge

Architect David Kemp is among a number of local businesses and residents calling for more substantial work on the bridge which has fallen into “an appalling condition”. Mr Kemp drew up designs for an improved footbridge and the Neighbourhood Forum has collected hundreds of signatures calling for funding for a new bridge. The footbridge is the major north-south pedestrian link, but it is poorly maintained and the absence of lifts at either end render it unusable for wheelchair uses, totally inadequate for people with disabilities and grossly inconvenient for people with luggage, heavy shopping bags or prams.
