The statement Mr Arghiro made (The Argus, November 21) that people agreed the building in Connaught Road, Hove, was fantastic was not strictly true.

We local residents all agreed it was far too tall to fit in with other housing in this conservation area. Why did the designers invite local residents to a meeting to discuss materials and design when they had already decided on it? Are we protesting in vain?
