Student flats have been approved for the site of the old Marks and Spencers shop on London Road
PLANS for 156 more student flats in London Road, Brighton, have been approved despite concerns that they would lead to pollution worsening.
Clean air campaigner Adrian Hill spoke out about the scheme to demolish the former Marks and Spencer store and replace it with a five-storey block, citing high levels of air pollution.
Mr Hill, a member of Clean Air for Brighton and Hove, told councillors yesterday that the proposed block would make matters worse.
But Brighton and Hove City Council’s Planning Committee backed the proposal by McLaren Property to build more student housing on the plot next to the Aldi supermarket.
