In my letter of December 22 I proposed the tallest buildings (more than 15 storeys) should be concentrated in the centre of Brighton and Hove.
I suggested these should be confined within an area of a square mile, the central axis of which would run from Brighton station to the seafront.
Ideally, such an axis should be terminated by a dominant focal point.
On the same page, right on cue, appeared a letter from Ian Manders, who proposed that a giant wind turbine and observation platform should replace the West Pier.
I doubt many people would support such an exchange so I suggest instead the turbine would serve admirably as such a focal point.
Situated midway between the piers, it would also form an exiting foil to both.
