Planning committee
Decided by Brighton and Hove Planning Committee on 5 Nov 2025. The council has not yet issued its decision notice.
Approved unanimously
No officer report was published for this decision; this summary is from the committee minutes.
- Officers recommended approval because the existing building detracts from the conservation area and the proposal had no significant impacts on light or outlook.
- Residents and the ward councillor raised concerns about overdevelopment, scale, character, privacy, views, noise and smells.
- The committee unanimously granted planning permission subject to the report’s conditions and informatives.
