CP10 Camberley Town Centre
The role of Camberley as a secondary regional town centre will be consolidated and enhanced through measures to improve shopping, business, leisure, cultural and community activities. Regeneration of the town centre to sustain vitality and viability and in particular address the high level of office vacancies within the town and the poor environmental quality along the London Road frontage will be promoted by the Borough Council. It is anticipated that up to 200 new homes could be delivered alongside some 41,000 square metres of gross retail floorspace in the period up to 2028.
New development should contribute toward some or all of the following as appropriate:
- Serve the retail needs of the resident population and the working population within the catchment area for comparison and convenience goods
- Support the role of the town centre as a centre for employment
- Enhance the role of the town centre as a centre forleisure and cultural activity within the Borough • Contribute to the enhancement of public transport services for the town centre and improvements to the local highway network including pedestrian and cycling facilities. • Create a high quality well designed environment
- Meeting the housing needs of the Borough
- Aspire, in residential schemes, to achieve CO2 reduction and water efficiency in line with Code 6 of the Code for Sustainable Homes
- Seek to achieve zero carbon and efficient use and recycling of other resources in new commercial or retail development
- Avoid having an impact upon the European Sites.
- Protecting and enhancing Public Open Space
An Area Action Plan for Camberley Town Centre will be prepared to address the delivery of the strategy.
