READERS have reacted to the introduction of a £750 membership card at Rockwater. The owner of the Hove seafront venue, Luke Davis, says the card “simply offers priority access to specific events” and is to ensure locals are prioritised over “out of towners”. He said that no area of the building will be off-limits for people without the card and insisted cardholders will not be given priority to the roof terrace or the main building, known as the lodge.

Rockwater owner Luke Davis COUNCILLORS went against advice and granted planning permission for a seafront venue’s roof extension. Rockwater’s owner Luke Davis can now add a glazed first-floor extension, along with a lower-ground floor pergola and fire pit area to the Hove venue.
Brighton and Hove City Council planning officers recommended the application was refused as the building would be too prominent and would contrast starkly with neighbouring buildings in the Sackville Gardens Conservation area. Planning consultant Ian Coomber spoke on behalf of Walsingham Road Residents Association who were against the plans due to concerns about noise and people leaving the venue in the early hours of the morning, as it has a licence to open until 3am.
