Brighton and Hove City Council has commissioned design consultants Gillespies to produce a Tall Buildings Study, in order to identify areas where there may be opportunities to integrate tall buildings into the urban fabric. The draft document(180 kb. pdf) is available here.

Briefly, 5 nodes and 10 corridors are identified as being capable of supporting buildings greater than six stories (18m.+)

the nodes are:
the marina
central seafront e.g. Brighton Centre and vicinity
adjoining Brighton station
adjoining Hove station
Shoreham Harbour

the corridors are:
London Road
Lewes Road
Eastern Road
Western Seafront/Kingsway
Station Road/Boundary Road

The Society will be making representation to the city council, but members are urged to study this most important document, and to make their views known.
