Parish council blasts Falmer decision
9:19am Tuesday 24th July 2007
John Burt from Falmer Parish Council said lawyers would be scrutinising the documents to see if there was the possibility of an appeal.
He said: "It is an extremely disappointing decision. We had always felt we had the moral high ground and that our village would be protected by planning laws but this has not been the case."
And Falmer Parish Councillor Simon Barnes described the decision as "depressing."
He said: "We are very disappointed. We really did think Sheepcote Valley was a much better venue for it.
"I think if you come here in ten years' time the area will be going to be overdeveloped and Falmer will just be another part of Brighton."

"We couldn't put the stadium on a brownfield site in Brighton and Hove because we could build lots of flats there and get lots of council tax". This decision is a complete joke! I feel so sorry for the village of FALMER . I thought it was supposed to be BRIGHTON and HOVE Albion. Losers!

Anyone for a pint in the Downs Hotel Woodingdean on the first match day?
Having been raised in Woodingdean, I believe that this will be great for the villages of Woodingdean AND Falmer.
It is about time both places got some life.

You claimed that the people of Moulsecoomb didn't have the intelligence or skills to do the jobs required at a stadium, you lied and rubbished our award-winning club in the community scheme and printed photos of Ditchling Beacon and claimed that this was where we would be building.
Snakes in the grass, all of you.
