The dodgy Karis has somehow got the money together to buy Dresden House and get this planning permission for it.
Is this the sort of building more likely to sell at such a time? Especially if there turns out no longer to be the prospect of residents looking out their windows and seeing the King Alfred towers looming?
Was permission given with the tacit understanding all round that the king Alfred will not in fact go ahead?

No ... I know you are not talking about that place LTNS. But you have done and you lauded it too ... Now look at it. Fact is sweetness, you haven't a clue when it comes to urban development. It isn't just about throwing up some high-rises, no mater how charming the view. And it isn't just about getting small flats for young couples. |

I do not wish to be picky but....
They are unlikely to get a council house and locally, schools in council estates are being closed. Shops in areas such as Newhaven are closing and being replaced by tacky market stools.
They may think that this is their only choice, crap that it is!
Crappy world, crap housing is the future. Nothing to do with whoever is in power.
They do not care in their big gated houses with chelsea tractors.

Oh, I am not getting confused LTNS ... I do think however that you are definitely suffering from myopia. So, young couples are going to buy these overpriced wonderful small flats with great views near a mega store. And then what LTNS? Are they going to stay young couples forever? Are they going to have families? Are they going to need schools and parks and places to walk the family dog? Are they going to need a dentist and a doctor and a haberdashery to buy the odd button to replace? Are they going to need somewhere to park the car and discard their rubbish? |

LTNS ... do you ever think about who are supposed to buy these Small Flats in "Great Places and up High"? ... and what is up high? on a mountain top or on top of several stories of flats that will not sell so well because they are not up high? |

Oh well ... I could be wrong of course but by the pro housing posts you've got on these forums ... you don't seem to be all that discerning. Provided they are rabbit hutchesflats, you seem content to let them be thrown up. |

If so that is a disgrace.
The developer will make some excuse and the sports centre will never happen.
B&H should be able to afford a really sports centre without any flats |

As far as I know the developer is not obliged to build the sport centre until he/she/they have realsied a profit on the flats. |

Save Hove does not seem to have been all that interested in the details of the King Alfred finance but it was always this that was the key element. All comes from trying to do too much with a small site. |

Maybe somebody knows more about this but apparently there is a financial report about King Alfred in the pipeline. Some people recall the last one did not make happy reading. Except the Council proceeded anyway. |
