The controversial planning application is likely to be heard in June, three months after it was withdrawn from conference pending legal advice.
Defense equipment manufacturer L3 Harris is seeking permanent planning permission for an expansion of its factory site at Home Farm Business Center in Home Farm Road, Brighton.
Temporary planning permission expires in September 2023 and the application to keep the building has received 652 objections on Brighton and Hove City Council's website.
A council spokesperson said: “We are currently taking legal advice regarding this application.
“We aim to have the application heard in June, but this is subject to receiving relevant legal advice.
“Once a date for this application is confirmed, we will update residents.”
Campaigners opposed to the application have protested outside Hove Town Hall before every planning committee meeting since March.
About 20 minutes into yesterday's meeting, an activist shouted from the bleachers urging councilors to deny the application instead of “waiting months.”
The woman and two other protesters said: “Brighton City Council will pick a side. Don't support genocide,'' he began shouting as he left the general public seating area.
Activists and some lawmakers and lawmakers opposed the application because the factory makes bomb racks and release mechanisms for Israeli F-35 fighter jets used in the ongoing fighting in Gaza. ing.
Councilors Caroline Lucas and Lloyd Russell-Moyle are opposed to the application, as are Hollingdean and Fiveways ward councilors Theresa Fowler and Mohammed Asaduzzaman.
Green MPs Rafael Hill, Ellen McCrea and Kerry Pickett, as well as former Conservative and now independent planning professor Samer Bagaeen, are also opposing the application.
The next planning committee meeting will be held on Wednesday, June 5th.
