Amex hotel proposal will be decided at BHCC Planning Committee 17th February

[Bold Seagull]

Councillors should not be allowed to abstain.

They are voted in to make decisions, not hide or bottle it.

TB

Happens so often it is infuriating.

 

[Hamilton]

I think it's a positive result.

It'll go back in with many of the issues addressed and fly through.

 

[SAC]

What do they want from the design? A palace? Absolute farce.

Something nice, not an ugly box?

 

[The Albion Roar]

Unbelievable that someone would abstain.

She would have voted with it if she thought the S106 could be re-negotiated, even though officers and councillors kept telling her that wasn't a consideration upon which she should vote.

Talk about someone who looked hopelessly out of place.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

I think it's a positive result.

It'll go back in with many of the issues addressed and fly through.

Will it ?

 

[Official Old Man]

It went to penalties. One player refused to take their shot and the ref saved the last one!

 

[Postman Pat]

Quite normal for plans to be thrown out, can the club alter them and reproduce them again

Martin Perry said if it was refused they won't be back, probably bluff, but who knows.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Quite normal for plans to be thrown out, can the club alter them and reproduce them again

Martin Perry said no, when he did his presentation.

What is so stupid, is that a couple of councillors who voted against said it wasn't anything like the stadium, when it is the same material. Unbelievable.

Exactly this - bit of design modification (photoshop the colours of it to exactly match the stadium for starters), a few surrounding trees and better answers about the car parking and it'll be agreed. Great insight to the utter, utter uselessness of some the councillors though.

 

[BHA Haywards Heath]

God I've just wasted almost two hours watching that live stream.

It has done nothing but enrage me. I'm an absolute wreck - and I don't even care that much whether there is a hotel or not, it was just such a farce.

 

[Shy Talk]

Application refused.

 

[Hotchilidog]

Basically it got kicked out because it looks rubbish next to the stadium. If it had one ounceof the flair of the AMEX itself it would have gone through.

Cllr Pete West - Green

Sour taste in your mouth? Cllr Maggie Barradell - Labour Party

Cllr Adrian Morris - Labour Party

Chair Cllr Julie Cattell - Labour

Seems to be worried about her legacy

Who was the other one who voted against against?

 

[Shy Talk]

Refused

 

[JonnyComeEarly]

What happens now with the site?

 

[Titanic]

I think it's a positive result.

It'll go back in with many of the issues addressed and fly through.

Well, taking off my Albion hat off does anyone agree that the club have been a little arrogant over the lack of want on going a slight re design and their situation over the 106, which is what I believe that lost the vote.

 

[The Albion Roar]

Basically it got kicked out because it looks rubbish next to the stadium. If it had one ounceof the flair of the AMEX itself it would have gone through.

Even that's subjective. Some councillors didn't think so.

Interestingly, there was no party line. Labour and Tory councillors voted for and against the application.

What happens now with the site?

It stays as a car park.

Yes
