The question will be answered without discussion. The person who asked the question may ask one relevant supplementary question, which shall be put and answered without discussion. The person to whom a question, or supplementary question, has been put may decline to answer it. 

 

The following written questions have been received from members of the public:

The College Conservation Area Character Statement is recommended for approval later in this meeting. There has been local feeling that this gives undue influence to Brighton College, not least in the naming of the Statement. Local responses also note the impact of the College on pedestrian safety and officers have responded that this can't be addressed.

Will the Chair consider renaming the statement (eg to "Walpole and College" CACS) and also to support further investigation of pedestrian safety and amenity in the area, including consideration of street improvements?
