The planning authority for our move to Withdean were minded to approve it but it still didn't stop people objecting and putting up a fight. Likewise for the Amex ( excluding the bit covered by LDC ).

Not in Surrey
That could be said about most of Hanover / The flats around the station.

But the arguments being put across are simply 'because that's what people do...'
My question was 'why would they do that?' As in, 'what are the grounds of their objections?', not 'why are they such bellchops?'
The fact the plan is in the National Park is not, in itself, a reason to object.
Eh? I've lived in Sussex since 1965 (Lancing until 1991, then Brighton) and I've heard it referred to as 'Shoreham cement works' far, far more times than any other name. That's certainly the name I use.
This plan, like all the others, is a complete non-starter of course. However it is WAY better than the lunatic hare-brained suggestion that the site would have made a good home for the Albion. The stadium at Falmer can just about cope with the current transport links, can you imagine what the queues would be like if the only access was via a narrow country lane and a dismanted branch line? There'd still be people there waiting to get home from the Doncaster game.

unfortunatly theres a lot of people with time on their hand to vociferously say otherwise. i know of a minor development where, among other objections, people are complaining that people may walk past their house, and this is an invasion of privacy. they used to complain about the farmer putting crap on his field, spoilt the view of the countryside and obviously smelt. of course thats what happens if you move to a house next to a farm.
The sign says Shoreham. Beeding Sidings.
Somewhere to house asylum seekers?
Basically the same reason a sports stadium was no good there. The transport links are naff.
Sell the site? Pay someone to take it off the owner's hands!

No. The approved housing development at Old Malling Farm, Lewes, is on what the South Downs Society calls "quality agricultural land". And it's been through a public inquiry, which ended with the Planning Inspector approving the planning application.

No more houses until the people live in the area have something to actually do!
Decent leisure facilities needed first instead of increasing the population of B&H. Turn it into a theme park
I often wonder what those City Buses do after showing tourists the Pavillion and Pier.

i hadn't realised they planned development that side too. well good on the SDNT authority to approve. i wonder how many of the South Downs Society and Friends of Lewes live in Malling, Landport, Neville and other parts built since the 60's.

while i eat my lunch i have solved the park and ride vs parking outside ones house issue. smart cars! they could run a small fleet to shuttle you from the car park to you home, which could be fitted with a garage like docking bay to get in/out in the dry. who do i speak to about this?

It's not in the same county.

I seem to remember in the 90's that an application for a winter sports park with dry slope skiing etc was rejected.

You obviously haven't read the article. So why comment?

It's over 11 miles from Brighton (Burgess Hill is closer to Brighton), outside the city and in a different county. Apart from that, excellent analysis.

None of which you will be able to see as the area will be shrouded in mist from the river.
Only if they replace the bridge that they took out near the Swiss Cottage pub
I don't own a car so yes I would

It's an eyesore as it is.
Is it under HDC planning authority?

Is it not the perfect opportunity to build a SE version of The Eden Project. A real attraction that would bring hundreds of thousands of visitors to the area just to see it (unlike the i360)
A real boost to the local economy.
