North Street Update

North Street

The St Edward Homes' plans for the mixed use redevelopment of North Street in Guildford town centre, was approved by our planning committee in October 2023.   This was subject to the completion of a legal agreement. The legal agreement for planning application 23/P/01211 has now been completed and planning permission was issued on 4 December 2023.

As a result, the planning appeal of the application refused in January 2023 (22/P/01336) has now been formally withdrawn. The public inquiry scheduled to start on 7 December 2023 has therefore been cancelled.

In early January St. Edwards held two webinars. They presented logistics proposals and an indicative programme for the highways, pedestrianisation and bus station works.

If you missed these webinars, the presentation is available to view.
