	Falmer Stadium
		The Falmer site lies on an urban edge adjacent to the Sussex Downs, which provides the inspiration for the architectural form.
		The stadium is designed to nestle into the landscape, with a curved translucent roof supported by two tubular butterfly arches evoking the surrounding gently rolling hills.
		The topography of the site allows the facades facing the natural landscape to be cut into the hillside, thereby reducing the visible bulk of the stadium, and the dramatic form is expressed as a gateway to the City of Brighton and Hove along the busy A27.

	Falmer site secrets
		Brighton and Hove Albion FC paid a four-figure sum to consultants in late 2004 to examine the prospects of an hotel at either Falmer, Sheepcote, or at Dyke Road, close to the Brighton bypass, though the club told successive public inquiries that there was no possible site for a stadium other than at Falmer.
		Documents leaked to Lewes MP Norman Baker also reveal that the consultants' report recommended Sheepcote, not Falmer, as the preferred site for the Albion, yet at the reconvened public inquiry in February 2005, just three months after the report was received, the club again argued that Falmer was the only possible site for a stadium.
		Our recommendations were made on the basis of an hotel as part of a stadium, such as Chelsea Village or Madjeski Stadium in Reading, and did not consider a stadium on its own.
