Application No.

Comment

51

Sussex County Cricket Ground, Eaton Road, Hove

BH2026/00748

Amendment to description and conditions:

The application is now ‘part-retrospective’ (as the building is in situ) therefore the description is updated accordingly, and condition no. 2 (commencement time limit) is no longer required.

 

Amended elevations:

The following updated elevation drawing shall be included in the Approved Drawing list: 10-PL-10 received 29th May (and shall supersede PL-10-P1). This amendment shows a change of colour to the building from black to orange, and with some additional branding. This will make the building appear more dominant, however, given its scale, the context of its location within the cricket ground and that it is only temporary, this is considered an acceptable change on balance.

 

Additional report text:

It is understood from the applicant that the proposal is not intended to increase the overall number of bar or refreshment facilities at the ground. Previously (prior to the temporary stand being in place), the Club would use mobile food and bar units either in this location or to the rear/sides of the stand. It is further stated that the existing provision on the eastern side of the ground is largely only available to hospitality guests and therefore this installation is intended to address this for a temporary period. It is noted that granting temporary planning permission would not override the need for compliance with the licencing regime and other responsibilities.

 

Transport consultation response:

Confirm no objection to the proposal on highways grounds.
