The council has published a draft planning guidance for the site, giving an idea of the sort of development that could be acceptable.; and it wants people’s comments on the draft before a final document is produced.

Cllr Julie Cattell, said: “It’s the biggest blank development site in the city and offers us the opportunity to create a whole new community from scratch. It is very exciting and I look forward to seeing the results of the consultation.”

An exhibition on the proposals is being staged at Hove Town Hall until the end of this week (March 24). The consultation is open for public views until April 10.
