Didn't the Hotel get turned down because it was a plug ugly box? If so, I'm surprised the club didn't just knock up a more sympathetic design and resubmit. This latest planning application just looks like more of the same mistake by a different applicant
Is it actually for student accomodation? Any time I'm in the Lewes Road / London Road areas, I always think how much jerry-built student accomodation does one town NEED?
