Planning appeal

The scheme includes 269 co-living studios, which will provide much needed high-quality homes for an underserved part of the market. It will also provide around 1,000sqm of employment space, which will be available to residents and the community alike, along with landscaped gardens, gym and large communal spaces.

The application was refused against officer advice despite being on brownfield land allocated for development, with the appeal centred on the impact on the character of the area and the amenity of neighbours.

The scheme replaces a largely vacant and dilapidated 1950s office building with a development that better reflects the area's emerging character. Its location within the busy Lewes Road areas allows the development to be car free and will incorporate critical sustainability features to ensure it is future-proofed for the net zero transition.

The development is the second phase of the new village, with 83 studios and co-working space consented by Brighton & Hove's planning committee in 2021.

TRP led a team of architects, designers and specialist consultants.
