GBC - Weyside Urban Village - Off Site Highways

Weyside Urban Village is an exciting regeneration project that will bring new homes, industrial uses, and community facilities to Guildford. By building on brownfield land (previously used land) the site protects the Green Belt surrounding the borough.The delivery of approximately 1,500 high-quality homes will play a crucial role in helping to meet Guildford’s housing need. The scheme provides new state of the art infrastructure including a new sewage treatment plant and a new council depot, to be relocated from their existing locations to near locations within the Slyfield Industrial Estate.The off-site highways works programme is principally required to mitigate the traffic impacts associated with the Weyside Urban Village development, as well as improve the surrounding pedestrian, cyclist and bus networks to encourage and enable greater sustainable travel.
