The article about banning exotically coloured houses in conservation areas (Argus, August 23) does not mention the seafront when listing areas where controls may be introduced.

Marine Parade is a conservation area. Stand on the beach and look back at its architecturally magnificent panorama and you will notice one building which no longer blends in with the rest.

I refer to the Escape Club, which has recently had an overdue coat of paint. The lurid new colour is not softened by the offensive blue strip lighting installed. I am surprised there are no existing restrictions on this kind of thing.
