25^th November 2022:

I object most strongly to this application. The original approval included the provision of 61 uses on the ground floor to include artists studios and galleries, a community space and a cafe. Many residents felt this was reasonable and did not object. They now realise that none of this will be provided! Class E would allow almost anything here, such as a Tesco, a charity shop, a takeaway or other uses not consistent with the historic nature of Portslade Village Conservation Area. The public have been led up the garden path. If the recommendation is to approve I wish the application to come to committee and I will exercise my right to come and speak against the proposal.
