I attended the meeting with Karis Developments and architects at the Connaught Centre, Hove.

Not a single resident I knew at that meeting liked the flats to be built in Connaught Road.

Everyone was shocked a modern tower was to be permitted in a conservation area.

One resident did praise the building's good design but said it would be in the wrong location - a view I also hold.

This new building will block the south-west bay window of my front living room, the source of precious winter sun. I lost sleep and cried over this.
