    Just as long as a new entry road to the A27 is included then this is a good idea. The land is actually privately owned so the it is not an amenity space and the council would make nothing from it's sale. The owners tried to persuade the Albion to build their new stadium there but one of many issues was the price they were asking for the land.
    One of the other issues was that no-one in B&H wanted the stadium built on their own doorstep. That will also be the case with this proposed development."

Greens plot housebuilding in Hove valley

An “eco-friendly” community could be created on undeveloped countryside as part of wider plans to mould the future of Brighton and Hove.

Brighton and Hove City Council believes it could create a community including 700 homes, a new secondary school, offices, community facilities and open space on the greenfield site known as Toads Hole Valley.

The council believes the 47 hectare site, between the A27 and King George VI Avenue in Hove, could become an example of One Planet Living, by becoming sustainable, ethical and with a low carbon footprint.

Former council leader Bill Randall described it as a “tremendous opportunity” adding it will help provide homes to some of the 12,000 people on the housing register.

But the plans to develop the site have been opposed by local residents who said they want to preserve the area as open space for future generations.
