Decision - Addition of London Road Coop to the Local List

That the former London Road Coop building at 84-103 London Road, Brighton be added to the council’s list of Buildings of Local Interest and that its local interest be defined in accordance with the Statement of Significance at Appendix 1.

The report recommendation will ensure that the heritage value of the London Road Coop building (its significance) is properly recognised and understood so that, in any future proposals for the site, the potential for retaining or part retaining the original 1931 building is fully explored before any decision can be made.

If the building is not added to the Local List there would be less opportunity to secure the retention of the original frontage in negotiations on any revised redevelopment scheme. If consideration of the matter were to await the full review of the Local List, revised redevelopment proposals may come forward before the matter is considered.
