The site of the flats was bombed during the Second World War PLANS for new students flats have been approved - and they could include a tribute to people who died in the Blitz during the Second World War. Labour councillor Nick Childs gave his support to the development on Lewes Road, Brighton, and asked if it could include a memorial plaque. He wants the site, on the corner of Caledonian Road, to commemorate the 15 people who lost their lives during bombing in 1943. The four-storey block is expected to include 60 student bedrooms and a ground floor shop or café. Planning Committee supported his suggestion but the final decision on the plaque rests with developers, who include the family of the leftwing activist who founded Momentum.
There are plans to replace the Co-op store in Lewes Road, Brighton, with student flats PLANS for more student flats in Lewes Road, Brighton, were approved by councillors, with a curfew on using a proposed roof terrace. The four-storey block, on the corner of Caledonian Road, is expected to include 60 student bedrooms and a ground floor shop or café. The current Co-op building would be demolished and the store would move into vacant premises next door, councillors were told yesterday afternoon. Conservative councillor Joe Miller raised concerns about parties on the roof and said that time limits had been imposed on the roof of nearby student flats at the Vogue Gyratory.
