There were protests outside the surgery before it was eventually closed and demolished THE site of a demolished doctors’ surgery could become council housing instead of student flats. The prospect was raised by councillors at a planning committee meeting yesterday last week as they discussed the old Willow Surgery site, in Bevendean. The owner of the plot, in Heath Hill Avenue, on the corner of Auckland Drive, has planning permission for student flats with 24 bedrooms. A condition of the planning permission, granted on appeal in May 2015, required a temporary surgery to be built – on neighbouring Farm Green – during construction of the flats.
Bobby Zamora and Mark Noble s plan for flats in Portslade has been rejected PLANS to build an 11-storey block of flats on a corner plot in Portslade were described as “ridiculous” as councillors refused to approve the scheme. They turned down planning permission because of concerns about the height and design of three proposed blocks of flats and a lack of parking. The scheme was put forward by a property company, Luna Group, which is part-owned by former Brighton and Hove Albion striker Bobby Zamora and West Ham United skipper Mark Noble. Zamora, 40, and Noble, 33, are also directors of Luna Group which sought planning permission for a scheme in three stages from Brighton and Hove City Council.
Cllr Sue Shanks, inset, said the council fell below expected standards after it was found to be at fault by the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman A DEVELOPER who hopes to build student flats on the site of a former doctor’s surgery has re-applied to the council to relax a key planning condition. Heath Hill Student Developments was unsuccessful in February when it asked Brighton and Hove City Council to drop the requirement for a replacement surgery on the site. Now the company wants to remove the requirement to provide a temporary surgery during construction. The requirement is one of the conditions attached to an existing planning permission to build a block of 24 student bedrooms.
