The redevelopment of Mount Browne is a key priority of the Surrey Estates Strategy and is the enabler to unlock a number of wider initiatives across the County. The overarching Estates Strategy, and importantly this project, will not only contribute to the health, safety, and wellbeing of staff but also provide the Force with the capability to effectively train, develop, and resource officers throughout their career serving the public.
"Our estate and the way we work will be transformed. Modern, efficient, and flexible working environments will reduce costs, promote operational effectiveness, enhance conditions for our staff and enable more agile and collaborative ways of working supported by modern technology and a culture of trust. Through this our staff will be empowered to be the best they can be, acting with pride, professionalism, confidence and creativity to keep our communities safe and feeling safe."
Lisa Townsend, Police and Crime Commissioner
Seven key objectives underpin our strategy:
Formal planning applications were submitted to Guilford Borough Council in early April.
On 6 November, Guildford Borough Council’s Planning Committee voted to grant planning permission subject to legal agreement as part of the redevelopment of Mount Browne.
One of the applications was for a new access road onto the site, which will reduce traffic for our neighbouring residential areas. The second application relates to the redevelopment plans for the site, which will see the Force refurbish and rebuild areas of Surrey Police’s headquarters that are no longer sustainable or fit for purpose.
There are now additional legal stages to go through before we take steps towards redeveloping Mount Browne. Further updates will be provided in the coming months.
