North Street Developments
St Edward a joint venture of Berkley Homes and the site owners M&G, AND Guildford Borough Council (GBC) who own 17% of the site, have submitted a documents requesting a ‘scoping opinion’ for a submitted Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the North Street Site. The details can be found on the Council Planning Portal (19/S/00004) See on This Link
Support Appropriate Development
The Guildford Society is supportive of development on the North Street Site which has been a blight on the town for decades. We support bringing forward an innovative scheme that respects and extends the Town Centre and provides Dwelling, Commercial Space plus Public Facilities. From the limited details available so far we have concerns which we hope can be address. For a fuller description of our concerns see details at this link.
The Train Still Waiting to Leave
There have been plans to link the rail network in Surrey into London Heathrow Airport, with connections to Woking, Guildford and Basingstoke. The Department of Transport requested proposals 18 months ago, and it appeared that Heathrow Southern Rail Ltd was gaining favour as a scheme that could be delivered by 2026. The Department of Transport has now announced that it wants to look at new strategic objectives for the project including different experimental transport technologies – this sounds like delaying a decision. For details go to this link.
