COMMUNITY HUB EXHIBITION the Team COMMUNITY HUB EXHIBITION March 2018 Introduction Mindenhurst is a new neighbourhood in the village of Deepcut, Surrey. Situated on the site of the Princess Royal Barracks, Mindenhurst will offer 1,119 new homes and 81 homes as part of the conversion of retained buildings. Essential local amenities including a new primary school, retail outlets, sports facilities, business premises and circa 69 hectares of public green space will be delivered for existing and new residents to enjoy. The vision for Mindenhurst is to oversee the transformation of the existing Princess Royal Barracks site into a high quality, sustainable rural heathland village. Areas that have historically been solely for military use will be re-connected with the existing Deepcut village, creating a thriving new neighbourhood. Mindenhurst will be characterised by its surrounding rural heathland. Open space will be the defining feature of this new neighbourhood, which offers a sustainable lifestyle in which residents can live, work and play. Community hub Today we are presenting recent proposals for the ‘community hub’ area of Mindenhurst. This phase of development will deliver significant new and improved community facilities including: • A new school - Mindenhurst primary school and nursery • A new village green and formal park • A village centre • A public house • New community hall and repairs to St Barbara’s Church • Improvement works to Deepcut Bridge Road • A potential new healthcare facility The proposals on display today have been developed in consultation with Surrey Heath Borough Council. We are now in position to share the plans with you and would welcome your views. We have feedback forms available and would encourage you to take a few moments to provide us with your thoughts before you leave. As you walk round the exhibition, if you have any questions, please speak to a member of the project team.

    SURREY HEATH LOCAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK 2006 - 2028 DEEPCUT SUPPLEMENTARY PLANNING DOCUMENT: STRATEGIC ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT REPORT July 2011 ‘Great Place, Great Community, Great Future’ Foreword The Deepcut Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) forms part of the Surrey Heath Local Development Framework. The SPD will provide guidance which will help shape future development and priorities at the Princess Royal Barracks Site and the wider Deepcut area. Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is now an integral part of producing planning documents. The purpose of SEA is to consider the likely significant effects on the environment of implementing a plan or programme and any reasonable alternatives, taking into account the objectives and geographical scope of the plan or programme. This SEA Report for the Deepcut SPD builds on the initial SEA Scoping Report undertaken in August 2010 and Environmental Report for the draft SPD in November 2010 and is the final report in the SEA process. This report assesses the effects of the SPD against the SEA framework and includes a justification of why certain options have been taken forward and why alternative approaches were rejected.

  • Mytchett, Frimley Green & Deepcut Residents Society
    Mytchett, Frimley Green & Deepcut Residents Society Minutes of Half Yearly Meeting November 2006 Michael Gove, MP spoke on the topics of land, sea and air. Land – Happy to see new housing but it must keep pace with the existing infrastructure. A question is hanging over land in Deepcut, but it is agreed that development should be restricted to the existing footprint. Water – Angela ‘Connell has worked very hard to maintain public access to the Hatches. Details are posted on fencing around the Hatches. Air – TAG have gone to appeal against Rushmoor’s decision to keep weekend flight at current levels. Weekday flights are acceptable, but the loss of quality of life at the weekends in not considered acceptable. With regard to the NHS, Michael said there are always changes in medical practice procedures, but our area has not been as well funded as other parts of the country, so there is a question over the Royal Surrey A & E department, which provides services not available at Frimley Park and it’s closure would put an even greater strain on Frimley Park. A question was raised regarding the use of gardens to build new homes despite the fact that they are important to the environment. Unfortunately, the government views them as brownfield sites and pushes for the maximum number of units although people want houses and bungalows with gardens. Ideally, planning should be led locally, not by the central government. SEERA calls for 200 extra dwellings for the next few years, but developers push for more and if they meet planning requirements they can prevail over the local wishes or requirements.

As such it should be taken as an indication only of the material and conclusions that will form the final report. Any calculations or findings presented here may be changed or altered and should not be taken to reflect AMEC’s opinions or conclusions. i Executive Summary Vision The redevelopment of Princess Royal Barracks (PRB) will create a new, sustainable and connected community at the heart of the rural village of Deepcut. The proposed scheme will be characterised by the unique, rural heathland and woodland setting of the site and a strong green infrastructure and public open space network. This will incorporate walking and cycling links to nearby local centres, public transport services, a new village green and recreation along the Basingstoke Canal towpath/ Frimley Lock. The vision for PRB includes a new residential led mixed-use settlement that contributes to a vibrant village centre with a supermarket and retail opportunities that will generate local jobs, support the existing local community and encourage interaction across Deepcut. A new primary school, nursery and health centre will be within walking and cycling distance of homes, encouraging sustainable travel and a new sports hub will generate community activity, local recreation and play. The attractive character of the Minden Ridge, Deep Cut and North Alma view will be retained and enhanced in order to encourage people into the heart of the village centre, along the canal and to the sports hub.
