CP1 Spatial Strategy

New development will be directed in accordance with the spatial strategy which provides the most sustainable approach to accommodating growth making the best use of infrastructure and services whilst respecting the character of the Borough.

New development will come forward largely through redevelopment of previously developed land in the western part of the Borough.

Camberley (as shown on the Proposals Map), has scope for residential development across the area. Employment growth will be achieved through redevelopment of existing sites and will be largely focussed on the town centre and the nearby Core Employment Areas in Yorktown and off Frimley Road. In addition to new housing and redevelopment of the station area, Camberley Town Centre will also be the focus for major new retail development particularly on the London Road frontage.

Frimley is a sustainable location but with limited potential for housing growth. The town centre will continue to serve as district wide service centre supporting a wide range of local services. Employment growth will be largely focussed on the Core Employment areas off Frimley Road, within Frimley Town Centre, other large employment sites close by and at Frimley Park Hospital.

Frimley Green and Mytchett (as shown on the Proposals Map) offer limited opportunities for housing and employment growth through redevelopment of existing sites.

The larger villages of Bagshot and Lightwater (as shown on the Proposals Map) will continue in their respective roles as district and local centres but have limited capacity to accommodate new development and this will be achieved primarily through redevelopment of existing sites.

At Deepcut, the land at Princess Royal Barracks, Deepcut represents a major redevelopment opportunity that will enlarge the village and provide a major new housing area as well as the opportunity to improve local services.

The smaller villages of Bisley, West End and Windlesham (including Snows Ride) and are inset within the Green Belt (as shown on the Proposals Map). These villages have limited capacity to accommodate development and this will be achieved primarily through redevelopment of existing sites.

The settlement of Chobham is “washed over” by Green Belt (as shown on the Proposals Map). This village has limited capacity to accommodate any new development.

Within the countryside the current extent of the Green Belt (as shown on the Proposals Map) will be maintained. Any change to the boundaries of the Major Developed Sites will be considered through the site allocations DPD. Development in the Countryside beyond the Green Belt (as shown on the Proposals Map) which results in the coalescence of settlements will not be permitted.
