In January 2008 the Ministry of Defence (MOD) announced its intent to release the Princess Royal Barracks, Deepcut for disposal. The MOD has continued to develop options for the units currently based at Deepcut with a final decision expected in early 2012.
Since the inclusion of Princess Royal Barracks in Surrey Heath Borough Council’s Core Strategy as a strategic housing location, Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO)(part of the MOD) has been working up proposals for a new, mixed use residential-led development designed in accordance with best practice in sustainable development. DIO’s proposals are also being designed in accordance with Surrey Heath Borough Council’s detailed guidance for the development of Deepcut as set out in the Deepcut Supplementary Planning Document. Surrey Heath Borough Council’s Core Strategy and the Deepcut Supplementary Planning Document can be viewed using the links to the bottom of this page.
In order to inform the development proposals to be taken forward through the planning process, DIO is consulting with the local community. A public exhibition was held on Wednesday 7 December 2011. Following the exhibition, the Project Team have considered all the comments received and further work has been undertaken on the masterplan. Consequently, a second public exhibition giving information on the revised proposals and giving the local community a further opportunity to comment is being held on Friday 10 February 2012 from 2pm to 8pm, and Saturday 11 February 2012 from 9am to midday at SPAR, Dettingen Park Store, Deepcut.
The exhibition boards and leaflet inviting the local community to the event can be viewed using the links to the bottom of the page. Your views are important, so please come and visit the exhibition where you can discuss the proposals with members of the Project Team. You will also be able to complete a feedback / response form at the exhibition. Alternatively the feedback / response form can be completed and returned online by using the links to the bottom of this page. The form must be returned by Friday 9 March 2012 for your comments to be considered. This website is updated at regular intervals. So please stay in touch with the proposals for the comprehensive and sustainable redevelopment of Princess Royal Barracks.
