Guildford railway station conflict with plans for new offices
Guildford railway station conflict with plans for new offices
London based property developers First Urban Group have applied for planning permission for a site in Station View, off Walnut Tree Close, Guildford.
However their plans for a new business headquarters in Guildford could clash with proposals for a revamp to Guildford railway station.
The proposed development would consist of 112,000 square feet of office space, a roof terrace, parking and landscaping and courtyards. Consultation started on the plans in January and one letter of objection has been received from a neighbour. However, the proposals may impinge on the plans for the nearby station redevelopment.
The company’s representatives say they had been engaged in discussions with Guildford Borough Council for more than a year regarding the station site.
It is said that the development would refresh the "gateway" to Guildford, create hundreds of jobs and provide significant capital investment.
