Shaping a new vision for Guildford, respecting its past whilst safeguarding the town’s future, Guildford is to be restored to the exemplar historic waterfront town centre it deserves to be.
Working with Guildford Borough Council, Leonard Design are breaking the concrete collar and breathing new life into the town by opening up the riverside. The masterplan reduces congestion, protects the town from flood, improves alternative, sustainable and affordable transportation, as well as making the centre a more attractive place to live, work and visit. Included in the 100 acre masterplan is up to 4,000 new homes and 4,500 square feet of new employment space across all tenures, supporting start-ups and established businesses from the ground up.
At the heart of the regeneration vision, Guildford’s ‘GreenWey’ will be a green linear oasis running 2km alongside the River Wey, offering peace and tranquillity away from the hustle and bustle of the busy streets with over 6 acres of new green space.
