Stanmer Park, Brighton Limited late-night opening will be permitted at a new venue in Stanmer Park selling Sussex wines. The One Garden, a project run by Plumpton College in Stanmer Park, originally applied for a 1am licence to serve alcoholic drinks at its café as well as off-sales from its shop. The application led to seven objections to Brighton and Hove City Council – from individual residents, a residents’ association in Stanmer village and the Brighton and Hove Estates Conservation Trust. They raised concerns about the proposed late-night licence, which initially included music and live performances. However, this element of the application was withdrawn before a council licensing panel met to decide the matter yesterday (Tuesday 27 April).
Buying the Stanmer estate was one of the best bargains Brighton Council ever made – or so it seemed at the time. The Earls of Chichester, who had owned Stanmer for three centuries, decided after the Second World War that they could no longer afford to run it. So in 1947 they sold Stanmer for a rock bottom price of £224,000 to the council. It included Stanmer House a handsome Palladian mansion, plus 5,000 acres of land and most of the villages of Stanmer and Falmer. The council donated land for the start of Sussex University and leased the house to the embryo institution for 20 years from 1960. It also provided land for a college of education, later to become part of Brighton University.
