Without proper guidance on how to use AI appropriately, employees may…

In a decision notice published last week, a planning inspector has approved proposals to build a 555-bedroom student housing complex at the former Bennett’s Field car park, adjacent to the Amex Stadium.  The scheme had been refused planning permission in October last year, with Lewes District Council planning officers raising concerns about its “substantial height, bulk and unsympathetic design”. They said this would have an impact on both the character of the immediate area and the South Downs National Park (SDNP). The inspector reached a different view, saying they were ‘not persuaded’ that the building’s design would harm the area.…
