Guildford Borough Council approves a scheme which will see new shops, homes and a bus station built.
The future of North Street has been debated for several yearsThe latest plans for the redevelopment of North Street in Guildford, Surrey, have been approved by the borough council's planning committee.The development has been welcomed by an organisation which represents businesses in the town.
This is the latest in a series of plans to revamp the area, with the most recent being rejected in January. Amanda Masters from Experience Guildford, which promotes the town as a destination, said: "We are thrilled."That's what the businesses have been waiting for, for so, so long. It has to be right but it can only be an improvement."Local resident Roger Kendall was not optimistic the new retail outlets would succeed, citing that there would be "25,000 square feet of commercial floor space without parking.""They will stay boarded up and empty for decades.
