A former Ministry of Defence barracks and depot in Guildford has been transformed into a mixed-use development of over 500 new homes.
The site is set within an area of typical post-war suburban housing that has grown up around the barracks with few local facilities and a deficit of public open space. The original site did not contain any buildings of quality, though it did provide a mature landscape with established woodland, which has been retained and enhanced as a key feature of the new neighbourhood. More than 1,000 trees have been preserved.
