 Allotments would have made way for the 450-space car park |
Controversial proposals to build a new park and ride scheme in Sussex have been rejected by councillors. The scheme for Patcham, to the north of Brighton, was opposed by many local residents who feared the loss of homes and allotments and a rise in traffic.
A 5,000-name petition against the plans was handed to the council in October.
Councillors had been recommended to approve the 450-space site at Patcham Court Farm, which would have had a bus link to the city every 10 minutes.
Business leaders had insisted the facility was vital for the economic future of Brighton and Hove.
