Finally given the go ahead this morning (28th October) after a four year battle which included two public inquiries. The functional 60s university buildings to the left will be demolished to make way for part of the stadium. The dip will be excavated to make a bowl in order to minimise impact on the environment. The area already contains both the University of Sussex (behind the trees) and the University of Brighton as well as railway links and the A27(T) dual carriageway which splits the village of Falmer into two distinct parts. The view at the back takes in Ditchling Beacon.
