WEYSIDE URBAN VILLAGE

Enhancing Guildford's Community

The Weyside Urban Village is an exciting regeneration project that aims to enhance Guildford's community and address the housing needs of the borough. This project is focused on providing approximately 1,500 high-quality homes. These will be built on brownfield land, preserving the Green Belt surrounding the area.

As a responsible urban development, the project incorporates essential infrastructure upgrades, featuring a new sewage treatment plant and a modern council depot. These improvements contribute to the overall sustainability and functionality of the urban village.

A key component of the development is the establishment of a new local centre, designed to foster community engagement and meet diverse needs. This centre will encompass up to 1800 sqm of retail space, including a convenience store, creating a convenient shopping experience for residents. The project includes provisions for healthcare and community facilities, ensuring access to essential services.

The planning application, reference number 20/P/02155, can be viewed on the Guildford Borough Council planning portal.
