272 Flats Planned for Woking Town Centre

Posted by UK Property Forums on 4th December 2023 -

Plans have been submitted to replace the former BHS department store in Woking with a high-rise scheme of 272 Build-to-Rent flats.

The Crown Gardens scheme submitted to Woking Borough Council by Donard Real Estate, which acquired the site in March 2022, proposes varied heights of up to 26 storeys. It includes 550 sq m of retail and commercial space at the 0.49-hectare site in Commercial Way.

The existing unit currently has a British Heart Foundation shop using the ground floor but all floors above are vacant.

The application follows the 2020 refusal of a scheme for up to 39 storeys which would have accommodated 310 flats.

The team on the latest project includes POD Architects as lead architect and masterplanner, Turley as planner and Hoare Lea on sustainability.
