SHEERWATER REGENERATION
FOR WOKING BOROUGH COUNCIL
DJB has advised 100 local authorities on the full spectrum of property-related matters, including a number of regeneration and development projects.
One such project is the regeneration of Sheerwater, one of the most deprived neighbourhoods in Surrey, by Woking Borough Council. The scheme comprises a £500 million mixed-use regeneration and is the Council’s largest and most important regeneration project to date. The project involves the creation of over 1,000 high-quality new homes, leisure and retail facilities, open green spaces, improved transport links and a local centre with social, retail, recreation and community uses. DJB was selected to advise the Council on the use of Compulsory Purchase Powers, land referencing, drafting and preparation of the Statement of Reasons, drafting of the Order, planning issues and the conveyancing of over 100 properties obtained by negotiation to date. Work continued to progress in 2020 and we look forward to continuing to support Woking Borough Council with their vision to improve people’s lives, create local opportunities and support communities to thrive.
