TC14 London Road Block

The London Road Block, as shown on the adopted policies map, is proposed for redevelopment. Development within this site will be expected to deliver the following:

  • High quality comparison retail facilities which make a significant contribution towards an enhanced town centre retail offer of up to 41,000 sqm (gross) up to 2028;
  • A mix of sizes of retail units to suit a range of retail requirements to be anchored by a major comparison goods store; and
  • Additional Car Parking to meet the needs of the retail scheme.
  • A scheme for this site should deliver a high quality distinctive built form and as such it may be acceptable for it to depart from established building lines and heights.

Additional uses which may be acceptable to support delivery of the main retail scheme, include:

  • Residential, cafes and restaurants, convenience retail, professional and financial services retail, offices, leisure and community facilities.

The built form of any redevelopment must:

  • Contribute toward the local distinctiveness of Camberley town centre;
  • Present a high quality distinctive built form on the London Road frontage;
  • Deliver environmental improvements to the London Road at, or close to, the junctions with both High Street and Park Street to reflect the role of these locations as gateways to the town centre;
  • Enhance public space within the overall scheme and create an enlarged public area capable of accommodating small scale community events or markets;
  • Improve pedestrian links within and around the site;
  • Be serviced from Park Street to rationalise the existing service access to this area whilst at the same time ensuring an active frontage on Park Street;
  • Ensure that access to the service area and car parking is safe and easy to use; and
  • Deliver public realm improvements to create pedestrian friendly areas on Obelisk Way (east) and High Street (north).

Development will also be required to:

  • Contribute toward environmental improvements on the High Street between St Georges Road and Knoll Walk to create a pedestrian friendly area; and
  • Contribute toward highway and public transport improvements.
