Erection of two storey at 80 Overhill Drive, Brighton
Summary of planning committee decision
Decided by Brighton And Hove Planning Committee on 4 Mar 2026.
No officer report was published for this decision; this summary is from the committee minutes.
The adjoining twitten
The adjoining twitten gave access to a nearby school but was not its main entrance, and no school-access safety concerns were identified.
“Councillor Robinson was informed that the adjoining twitten gave access to the nearby school; however, this was not the main entrance. No safety concerns have been identified regarding access to the school.”
Minutes
Members discussed the scheme
Members discussed parking, objections, the twitten, materials, trees, shrubs, traffic, design, overdevelopment and overshadowing.
“Councillor Theobald was concerned that the adjoining twitten would be blocked by works. The design was good; however, the loss of trees and shrubs was disappointing.”
“Councillor Sheard considered the objections to be retrospective as traffic was already an issue, and they did not consider one house to be overdevelopment, nor would there be overshadowing from this small development.”
