The headline read: "Five years to total gridlock" (The Argus, July 6) but, at the same time, Brighton and Hove City Council proposes to allow the development of 750 flats at the King Alfred site, plus the loss of a valuable car park and further parking adjacent to the promenade at the bottom of Hove Street South.

This development will probably introduce between 750 and 1,000 vehicles to this densely populated area. Is this commonsense?
