What’s happening in Hove? Cranes, cranes everywhere! The creation of a new Hove Station Quarter has begun! Watch this video to get a sense of what the area will soon be like, plus long-term plans and ambitions. Back in 2013, local residents joined a forum and created a neighbourhood plan, to ensure all residents can benefit from the regeneration.
Newtown area
Articles about the area where Hyde are building their major development.
The Goldstone Retail Park was built on the site of Brighton & Hove Albion Goldstone Football Ground. The large, noisy retail sheds and car park have left no vestige of the former use, despite its iconic, historic and cultural significance to many thousands of the city’s football fans.
The Forum has created an illustrative ‘blue skies’ vision of how this area could be more appropriately redeveloped in the long term, through a design which, inter alia, commemorates its role in the city’s history.
The issue for the Neighbourhood Plan is the need to explore the feasibility of a second redevelopment of this site in the context of an integrated, mixed-use redevelopment of the whole of DA6.
A new petition regarding St Agnes Church – Natural Fit Gym, Newtown Road.
The developer of St Agnes church, Newtown Road, has started building a balcony on the 1st floor of the church and plans to put exterior neon lights on the outside of St Agnes Church, which is being developed into Natural Fit Gym. In addition to this the club has already obtained a license to serve alcohol. The petition author believes this is an illegal development.
Three houses on Fonthill Road are as close as 4m from this balcony, it gives direct line of sight into living room, bedroom and bathroom and overlooks the garden of all 3 properties.

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.

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.
