Search the Public Notice PortalA planning application has been submitted to install a 'high security' door on a central Brighton residence to keep out 'unsolicited visitors.'
The application aims to replace the existing timber communal entrance door at Dorset Mews, just off Edward Street, which reportedly "does not provide sufficient security."
It claims that "the block regularly suffers from unsolicited visitors who sleep rough in the corridors."
Dorset Mews, a 2014 construction comprising eight socially rented flats, is situated in an area with a "high rate of homelessness," says the submission.
The application goes on to say that the current door is regularly targeted by "non-residents seeking shelter," causing "distress and discomfort" to the tenants.
The large glass panel in the door's design is said to offer "natural surveillance" to further improve security.
One of the associated documents states: "The existing door provides poor security and is leading to unsolicited visitors to the property causing distress to the residents."
It adds that the new door will "improve security and increase the enjoyment of the residents."
The application was validated on December 10, with a decision is yet to be made by Brighton and Hove City Council.
