Phase 3

WEYSIDE URBAN VILLAGE

Enhancing Guildford's Community

About Phase 3

The Phase 3 development area currently includes the Guildford Borough Council depot and part of the Thames Water land. Planning permission has been granted to turn this area into a mix of homes, green spaces, and community areas, along with new shops, improved roads, and better infrastructure for everyone.

To make way for the new homes and community areas, a new council depot and Thames Water sewage facility are being built. Once these facilities are moved, the current land will be cleared and used for new housing.

Type of housing

• There will be 187 new homes.
• Of these, 40% (75 homes) will be affordable housing. 60% market housing (112 homes) will be market rent.
• There will be a mix of housing types, such as apartments and townhouses. It includes buildings up to 4 storeys and areas of lower-rise housing to integrate with existing residential surroundings.
• The architectural design aims to reflect the industrial waterfront character, incorporating elements like the retained Pump House.

Timescales

• Phase 3 is planned to align with the relocation of the council depot. 
• The Pump House will remain in use until 2027 so some aspects of the development after 2027.
• This is a phased programme, some buildings will not be built until Phase 4 infrastructure is in place.
