‼️PROTECT YOUR GRASSROOTS MUSIC VENUES‼️
The Hope & Ruin, Rossi Bar and The Folklore Rooms need your help (again!) A planning application has been updated and submitted again to add 3 residential flats at 125 Queens Road opposite The Hope & Ruin, Rossi Bar and along from The Folklore Rooms.
Three Grassroots Music Venues will be at risk from Noise Complaints if these flats go ahead.
We need your help in writing objections to let the developer know we are important cultural assets in Brighton & Hove and must be protected.
The key issues to raise are these:
- The importance of these venues to you personally and to culture in Brighton and Hove.
- The risk that noise complaints from the new flats could lead to action being taken against the music venues.
- Express concern that no noise survey has been submitted with the planning application.
The proposal is contrary to the national 'agent of change' planning principle, which requires that existing music venues are harmed by proposed residential development taking place nearby.
It is also contrary to Policy DM40 of the City Plan Part Two.
We’ve watched too many planning applications like these create issues and in some cases close down venues so we need your help (again) to help us protect these hugely important and much loved cultural hubs.
We have until 14th August for you to write an objection. Click the link below and sign up to leave a public comment objecting to this planning application.

PLEASE HELP US PROTECT THESE AWESOME SPACES FOR YOU AND FOR THE FUTURE!❤️❤️
