Transform Leatherhead The town’s character, history and environmental setting will be celebrated and complemented by new and revitalised uses. Transform Leatherhead Masterplan, 2016

Looking to rejuvenate Leatherhead into a friendly, vibrant and lively modern market town where people of all ages can
shop, eat, relax and have fun by the riverside. Leatherhead Town Centre is being re-invented, expanded and transformed to fully realise its potential as a distinctive, enterprising and highly regarded market town. High quality, people-friendly streets and spaces will combine to link the riverside, railway station, business and residential areas with the heart of the town centre. The town centre will be highly accessible by all forms of transport and vehicle movement will be managed efficiently whilst maintaining an emphasis on the quality of the environment and the sense of place. A wider range of shops, new housing, and leisure and community facilities will make Leatherhead a better place to live, work and visit. These developments will significantly enhance the quality and breadth of the town centre offer and deliver a sustainable and commercially successful mix of high street names and independent businesses.

More public open space and play space

Our updated plans for Bull Hill have significantly increased the public open space. The new space will be similar in size to the open space there today, with improved paths, more trees and a larger play area for children.

We listened to your feedback about building height

We’ve reduced the height of the two tallest buildings from 12 and 10 storeys to 10 and 6 storeys, as well as reducing the height of the multi-storey car park by one floor, creating a design that steps down naturally towards the park and surrounding homes.

Our new plans are now live!

We’ve made significant changes to the Bull Hill plans including reduced building heights and more public open space.

The updated designs are now on our website and the planning portal. There will now be a 30-day consultation for statutory consultees, while you can share your views with the Local Planning Authority up until determination.

Following Kier’s announcement yesterday that it will focus on expanding its successful Infrastructure and Construction businesses and will not be pursuing new site acquisitions within its property business, we would like to reassure residents and stakeholders that the Transform Leatherhead programme remains on track.

Kier has confirmed that the joint venture arrangements and agreed business plans with Mole Valley District Council for the Leret Partnership and the regeneration of Bull Hill and the Swan Centre remain unchanged.

Planning is a step-by-step process. We have now received feedback on the proposals from almost all the statutory consultees and many other stakeholders and members of the community. Working closely with the Local Planning Authority, our next step is to review all responses to date and consider what changes can be made to the scheme in response to the concerns they have raised.

Leigh Thomas, Group Managing Director of Kier Property, said:
“The responses we have received so far from statutory consultees and the community have been helpful in highlighting some key areas in the proposals that we and the Local Planning Authority will work together to respond to. We now look forward to sharing updates with the community as the planning process moves forward.”

As The Leret Partnership is a JV involving Mole Valley District Council, we must follow pre-election guidance. This means we cannot share updates or make public statements during the six-week period before the May elections, from 23 March to 7 May.

Following the elections, we will provide an update.

Supporting Access to Planning Information at the Fairfield Centre

We’ll be at the Fairfield Centre in Leatherhead tomorrow (Thursday 15th January) from 2pm to 3pm to help those who don’t have access to the internet to access information about the planning application for the Swan Centre and Bull Hill.

Hard copies of the Planning Statement and the Design and Access Statement will be available and there will be guidance available on how to submit representations to the local planning authority.

Please note that this is not an official consultation event, and is designed to help as many people as possible to access the documents in the planning application.

If you or someone you know may need support to access the plans, please come along to find out more.

During construction, there’ll be c.870 full-time equivalent jobs available each year during the build.

We’ll also be providing apprenticeships to offer jobs and opportunities for local people.

We have received queries about who will own the land at Bull Hill. Our clear intention is for the new public park to remain in the ownership of Mole Valley District Council (MVDC), ensuring its long-term stewardship and safeguarding this important public asset for future generations.
