The former Royal Alexandra Children's Hospital in Dyke Road, Brighton, should be preserved and not turned into 150 flats and a GP surgery (The Argus, January 29).
The proposed scheme would see the Victorian structure torn down, which I think is unnecessary as the building is still in a fair condition and could be adapted.
This would be very detrimental to the area. English Heritage and the Victorian Society are quite right to object to the plans. I hope they will be successful in their opposition.
There is far too much willingness by developers and others to tear down old and historic buildings which serve as landmarks and are part of the history of many towns and cities.
