Planning programme

This application has been in progress since 2024 when the Development Partnership was first announced. We would like to thank all of those involved in the evolution of the plans.

Development Partnership announced – 2024

Back in 2024, Guildford Borough Council and Wates announced the formation of a development partnership focused first on transforming the Guildford Park Road Car Park site into a vibrant urban neighbourhood, delivering new homes, of which 40% will be affordable, council-owned homes. 

Project planning – Winter 2024

During this period, the project team worked hard to prepare the initial proposals for the site, which were then shared at the public consultation phase.

Public consultation – March 2025

Wates and the Council have always been committed to working with our community and local stakeholders at all stages of the project. The team hosted a strong of consultation events in Guildford in Spring 2025, with a project website launched to support engagement and maximise interaction. 

On this website you can view all consultation materials displayed at these in-person events. All feedback taken during the consultation period has helped to shape these proposals and we would like to thank all of those who got involved.  

Feedback review – May 2025

We would like to thank the community for taking part in our consultation, which has now closed.
