So the residents of Marine Gate object to the Marina development.

The irony of it. I mean Marine Gate – what a fascinating piece of architecture.

It has to be up there with the Brighton Centre and the Thistle Hotel.

The fact is the development of the Marina will improve Brighton.

With 1,500 new dwellings it will bring regeneration to the beachside areas on and around Black Rock. It will bring employment too.

Personally I think the seascape itself will be improved too. The skyscraper as a single structure will add, not subtract, from the vista.

Good luck with the development.
