North Street Regeneration: St Edward Autumn Update 2024
In the coming weeks, St Edward will begin the first enabling works of the North Street Regeneration project which includes archaeology surveys.
In addition, Woodbridge Road will be permanently closed to allow utility diversion works to take place along North Street and Leapale Road. Learn more about the Guildford North Street Regeneration project (opens new window) Woodbridge Road closure.
This work will be followed by the demolition of the Old Post Office and other buildings fronting North Street and Woodbridge Road. This will make way for the new town square which will form the centre piece of the wider North Street Regeneration project (NSRP).
What will the NSRP deliver to local residents, businesses, and the wider community?
- 477 highly sustainable new homes, including 47 affordable homes
- 2.2 acres of public realm featuring a wellness garden and a new town square
- A refurbished bus station with indoor waiting facilities, toilets and staff offices
- The pedestrianisation of North Street, projected to improve air quality by 10%
- The planting of 115 new trees, boosting local biodiversity by over 200%
- A dedicated Community Liaison Officer to facilitate integration with the town
- A new medical centre to serve the community's needs
- Over £5 million in Section 106 contributions to support local infrastructure
