It is clear we do not all share the same tastes or want the same things - the world would be very bland if we did - and I am sure no one would force Frank Blake to live in one of the Gehry towers (Argus, March 8).

Indeed, the flats in the Gehry towers will, to some people, be the most desirable homes within the King Alfred development and it is therefore likely they will be the most expensive.

Mr Blake's fears about the effects of wind and the use of water as a result of the development are also unfounded.

All new developments have to be built according to stringent building regulations to withstand extreme weather conditions.

These regulations ensure new developments have proper services, including water, and that there are no negative impacts on the supply to existing properties.

There is a real shortage of housing in Brighton and Hove - is Frank Blake really saying we mustn't build any more homes?

Surely the best use of our resources is to protect our green open spaces and flood plains and build quality high-density housing on brownfield sites like the King Alfred.
