Abrdn submitted representations through Montagu Evans LLP on Brighton & Hove City Council’s review of its Alcohol Licensing Cumulative Impact Assessment. The submission argues that Churchill Square should be excluded from the Cumulative Impact Zone or, alternatively, that a more flexible zonal and criteria-based approach should be introduced to support a broader food, beverage and leisure offer while managing impacts.
