| Illustrative master plan |
An outline planning application BH2018/03633 for the development of Toad's Hole Valley has been filed. It proposes: 880 much-needed dwellings; a secondary school; office/research/light industry units; a doctors' surgery community building, and public open space (including for food growing and play space).
It also includes enhancements and alterations to the Site of Nature Conservation Interest to the east of the site and associated landscaping.
The most controversial proposal seems likely to be the suburbanisation of King George VI Avenue. Nearly all A23, A27 traffic destined for Hove and Portslade funnels down this road. The 3 light-controlled vehicular accesses is a welcome reduction from the 7 suggested earlier for the development. This will still result in some rush hour delays but in the search for new housing maybe this is just one of the trade-offs the city has to accept.

Comments can be filed up until the application goes before the planning committee in the spring.
