11th December 2015
The first details of the £40 million development of the King Alfred leisure centre have now been announced.
The council has confirmed that Crest Nicholson, in partnership with Starr Trust, have been selected as the preferred bidders to redevelop the site.
The leisure centre will be developed alongside 560 flats of up to 18 storeys in height - 20 per cent of which will be affordable homes.
Controversially, the consultation took place behind closed doors, with no details being made available to the public until the decision had been made. Councillors claimed this was to prevent a “beauty contest” from taking place – as happened with Frank Gehry’s King Alfred development, proposed in 2003 – but some local residents and politicians have been worried about the lack of transparency in what one councillor describes as “the biggest building project on Hove seafront since Brunswick Square.”
