College Development threatens North Laine.

View north along Sydney St.
THE NEW CITY COLLEGE WOULD KILL THE SCALE AND GRAIN OF NORTH LAINE IF IT WENT AHEAD. IT WOULD LOOM LARGE OVER THE SMALL SCALE BUILDINGS OF NORTH LAINE. 

EVEN THE COUNCIL’S OWN LOCAL PLAN DESCRIBES NORTH LAINE AS A VALUED NEIGHBOURHOOD. YET THE SCHEME DOES NOT PRESERVE OR ENHANCE STRATEGIC VIEWS EITHER INTO OR FROM THE NORTH LAINE CONSERVATION AREA. IT COULD SOON BECOME A DEVALUED NEIGHBOURHOOD.

    I wonder do they have a architectural school at the college.

    Good god, do we not have enough ugly buildings? Brighton: Home to the worst architectural firms and most pathetically money-grubbing council in the country.
