What reason is there for thinking no call in?
Apparently residents are anyway engaged on a legal angle. So that is something. No point to a judicial review unless there is a good chance of its success. |

| Well, let's see what the newly elected Conservatives are going to do. After all, one of their pre-election commitments was to call in the planning application wasn't it? |

| The Hove residents have the matter in hand, I gather, and there is a long way to go with all this. GOSE does not envisage it being built. |

The most interesting aspect of this King Alfred farce is that it has prompted so many good people in the know to quit the Planning Dept..
Maggie Brian, Ian Coomber, Luke Perkins.
They are nobody's fools. They know that it unworkable. |

Not sure if it is out there but it is time for someone to show real leadership about this.

| Nah not really nightbird. For decades the majority of people in this country have considered that by voting every few years they have discharged their democratic duty. Trouble is, though that may have discharged their democratic duty, they have not exercised their democratic right and that is to hold those they have elected accountable on a daily basis. Subsequently we have now elected representatives, both on the local and national level who are under the ... seemingly not so far fetched ... idea that once they have convinced us to vote for them, all their energies can be expanded on behalf of either their party, themselves or ... where the two happen to run hand in hand in the same direction ... both. Jo/e Public is of very little interest at this stage, except for throwing them some sop every so often ... preferable at least expense of both effort and monies. |

The problem with King Alfred is that nobody held those proposing the development accountable or subjected the proposals to any degree of scrutiny. We also had the local 'news' paper just regurgitating whatever nonsense was passed its way. |

| The judicial review which the residents have in hand will sort it out. |

| Is the Sketches of Frank Gehry one of those films to which mothers can take babies for a "Big Scream" showing. Perhaps the objectors should go along and join in the cacophony. |

| All these matters - and many others, for that - are more likely to be subsequent upon whether or not a judicial review is deemed to have legal legs. |

After banging on about architecture and "world-class" this and that, Mr Karis now turns out to be pinning his hopes on a... karaoke bar!
He has put in an application for such an establishment to spread across premises in Middle Street in Brighton.
BH2007/01485 is the planning number for comments.
Perhaps, if he gets permission, Mr Karis will be the first performer, with his very own view on the King Alfred: Elvis's "I Got Stung"

| Latest news from the Planning dept - what's left of it - is that Karis has to put in for changes... could this be the end of the road for it? |

| Today's Argus - letters page - has caught up with the news here a little while ago that many of the people in the Planning Dept have quit over the King Alfred being taken out of their hands. They have made it clear that the Council will have problems with this scheme and they do not want to be sullied by association with it. |

| Does anybody know what happened about those flats proposed opposite the KA? Perhaps not the greatest design, by all accounts, but not at all a bad spot for flats. They do not seem to have excited much in the way of objection, it seems to me. You can usually get a measure of things if word about them wafts this way to Portslade, and I have not heard anybody over here up in arms. |
