TC18 Land East of Knoll Road

TC18 A Civic Uses Area

The Council will work with Surrey County Council and other stakeholders on a comprehensive plan to secure improvements to the civic uses area, as shown on the adopted policies map. This will combine proposals to rationalise and make more effective use of existing public buildings, new public buildings and facilitate improvements to the public realm in accordance with the following principles:

  • The Council will seek enhancements to the Theatre to provide additional seating, improved backstage facilities and an improved café/restaurant for the public;
  • Improve and increase usage of adjoining community buildings;
  • The protection and extension of Camberley Park and opening up of a view from Knoll Road to the Obelisk;
  • Enhanced public space around the Theatre;
  • Enhancements to the Library building to improve library facilities and enable its use for community activities such as adult education and/or a new museum as appropriate; and
  • The improvement of pedestrian access to Land East of Knoll Road (including Camberley Park) from the main town centre.

The overall level of car parking provision to be provided within this area will be identified within the context of that required to meet the needs of the town centre as a whole.

Civic and community uses will continue to be concentrated within this area, either within the existing buildings or within redevelopment schemes including relocation within the area. Loss of buildings from civic or community uses to other uses will only be acceptable where it can be demonstrated that no other civic or community uses can make use of the facility.

TC18 B Housing

That part of the Land East of Knoll Road, accessed from Portesbery Road is identified for housing. Development of this area will be required to provide an extension to Camberley Park and contribute toward the cost of the improvements identified in TC18A above, as appropriate.
