Planning Permission: Brighton and Hove Albion Football Club

Volume 459: debated on Thursday 26 April 2007

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government what representations she has received on the impact on Brighton and Hove Albion Football Club of further delays in announcing a decision on its planning application for a community stadium at Falmer; and what the latest date is by which a decision on the matter will be announced. (132905)

Following the quashing of the original decision on this case in the High Court, representations were sought on a range of issues from interested parties. A number of those representations address the impact on the football club of the lack of a final decision.

My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State set out her target for making a final decision on this case in her letter of 2 March. That date is 9 July, and there are no plans to amend that date.
