Hundreds object to proposed sports pitch
More than 900 people have objected to Brighton, Hove And Sussex Sixth Form College (BHASVIC)'s proposed sports pitch over concerns it could affect nearby shows staged by an outdoor theatre.
Brighton Open Air Theatre has also cited potential noise issues, so BHASVIC is commissioning an expanded noise impact analysis, the Local Democracy Reporting Service said.
BHASVIC principal William Baldwin said that the college needs to provide "first-class" facilities for students to compete with other providers, as well as create a community facility.
The college said: "The pitch will be dug down into the slope of the playing fields, creating a significant barrier between it and the theatre."
