In yet another inaccurate letter from an anti-stadium campaigner, Helen Mason of Woodingdean baldly states the Albion refused to consider any alternatives to Falmer (Letters, April 14).

This is quite untrue. The Albion analysed a host of other locations and chose Falmer only after considering them all.

Subsequently, a Government planning inspector led a lengthy public inquiry specifically set up to look at all the alternatives and, after several months' independent study, concluded that none was likely to get planning permission.

The inquiry was based in Brighton and included inspections of all sites.

Among the alternatives submitted to the inquiry by the anti-Falmer lobby was Waterhall (in the proposed National Park) and Toad's Hole (wholly in an Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty).

One site particularly favoured by Lewes District Council is Sheepcote Valley.

Let it be quite clear. Unlike Falmer, a stadium at Sheepcote Valley would be badly served by public transport and, again unlike Falmer, would attract a large number of vehicles over the South Downs. It would cause traffic havoc in Woodingdean, not least past the end of Mrs Mason's road.

Why she is in favour of this is unclear, but for her to imply a stadium next to the University of Brighton would lead to the destruction of Falmer village and its "unique duck pond" simply beggars belief.
