**Proposals by Brighton & Hove Albion** to build a hotel, student accommodation and a new home for community organisation *The Bridge* near the AMEX Community Stadium moved a step closer after agreement last week (October 17).

The Green administration proposed that the council, as part land-owner, enter into negotiations with the club with a view to developing the land. It is proposed that the development across two sites will include a new hotel serving the stadium, much-needed dedicated student accommodation for the city and a permanent new home for community organisation *The Bridge*. The proposal received cross-party support.

**Councillor Jason Kitcat, Leader of Brighton & Hove City Council said:**

> *“This is the next step in the continued growth of our successful football club. A hotel will help those who travel to the city for match days, especially if it’s finished in time for the Rugby World Cup in 2015\. And dedicated student housing is a real bonus, especially in a city where many family homes are being lost to student accommodation.*  
>  
> *“We’re really pleased to have received assurances that The Bridge will be incorporated into any future plans. It’s crucial that they have a secure permanent home from which they can continue to provide their vital services to the local community.*  
>  
> *“We look forward to continuing our work with the club to help make their vision become a reality.”*
