Jacquetta Fewster, the director of the South Downs Society, said: "The decision to build this stadium is completely wrong.

"The countryside in this part of the South-East is so special it has been included within the boundary of the proposed national park, including much of the stadium site.

"The area has been described as the most beautiful of all the English chalk country'.

"This decision opens the way for this beautiful landscape to be destroyed, entombed under breeze block and concrete."

"The South Downs Society will campaign vigorously against any other scheme that would involve the expansion of an urban area like Brighton into this precious landscape."
