Proposals to build an 18-storey tower block of flats on the Medina House site are yet another assault on the fabric of our city.
The site is in a conservation area and it is little wonder local residents are up in arms.
The proposed tower block will completely overshadow their homes and destroy the local townscape.
Its construction would set a worrying precedent for the redevelopment of the King Alfred site. We need more homes in Brighton and Hove but not at any price.
We rely, of course, on councillors and planners to put the interests of the citizens before those of developers.
Their recent dismal performance over the Brighton station site offers little grounds for optimism. In this case, we urge them to consider the wishes of local people first.
