THE long awaited development of the King Alfred is finally set to get off the ground after the Government pledge £15million funding needed to complete the project.
Brighton and Hove City Council leader Warren Morgan said: “We’re massively pleased and proud to have submitted a bid which has won the second largest single sum in the country. It speaks volumes for our commitment to providing the housing the city desperately needs, alongside a first-class leisure centre. We have achieved a very significant step forward after years of difficulty getting this project off the ground.”
The money is partof a Government pledge to build 200,000 new home
Chancellor of the Exchequer, Philip Hammond, said: “Today marks the first step of the multi-billion pound investment we announced at the Budget to help build the homes our country needs.
“This fund finances vital infrastructure such as roads, schools and bridges, which will kick-start housing development in some of Britain’s highest-demand areas.
“This support will help us meet our ambitious plan of building 300,000 new homes each year and ensure we have enough housing in areas which need it most.”
Housing Secretary Sajid Javid said: “Our priority is building the homes this country desperately needs.
“This first wave of investment totalling £866 million will help get up to 200,000 homes off the ground, making a huge difference to communities across the country.
“This is just one of the many ways this government is taking action to get Britain building homes again.”

Grrr. This makes me so angry. You don't need to build 300,00 new ****ing homes a year you just have to make existing ones affordable.
Yes we do. The reason they are unaffordable is because there are not enough available for sale. We need to build hundreds of thousands of new homes, particularly at the so-called 'affordable' end of the market.
Simply untrue. Making homes affordable isn't simply about slinging up new, cheap housing. It's about bringing people's skills and ability to earn more money up into line so they can afford the housing that is already there.
But that's a bigger picture that most people can't grasp.
That is complete and utter drivel. If people earn more, and you don't build more houses, you will simply drive prices up even higher.
Yeah yeah, this'll be a brick wall thread. I'll leave you to it.
We’re are these “hundreds of thousands” of people coming from? I know we have a homeless problem but it’s not on this scale.
Just as well wages are stagnating then I guess?
Millions living in substandard accomodation, with parents, B&B's, truly, homeless, split homes from family breakdowns. All political parties, housing associations and charities are in agreement that vast numbers of new homes are needed.
The only argument is where to build them.
I get this. But is the answer to substandard accommodation to simply build more? What then happens to the substandard stuff?
I was talking about this failed project this afternoon, good if it finally goes ahead. Bit ridiculous the developers could get about £10m more than they originally quoted though.
That's right up there with the dumbest things I've read on NSC.
