People have been asked to suggest areas of Brighton for potential future developments.

The callout is part of the local council's City Plan 2041 consultation, which closes on 20 January.

Liz Loughran, chair of Brighton and Hove City Council's planning committee, said: "We are a growing city and we need to make sure there is enough land identified for new homes and workspaces, community facilities and tourism, and sites that can improve biodiversity."

The development of the former Astoria building in Gloucester Place into the Rox Brighton apartments and the residential development at the former Dairy Crest site in the Droveway, Hove, were both carried out following previous calls for sites.

New suggestions can be made through the consultation website.

Ms Loughran said: "I hope that both residents and our local developer community will come forward with suggestions that could provide the basis for more new homes and facilities in future."
