Transform Leatherhead
Our gateway town of Leatherhead is undergoing a long-term regeneration programme – Transform Leatherhead – to create a friendly, vibrant and lively modern market town where people of all ages can shop, eat, relax and have fun by the riverside.
The Vision
Leatherhead town centre is being re-invented, expanded and transformed to fully realise its potential as a distinctive, enterprising and highly regarded market town. The town’s character, history and environmental setting will be celebrated and complemented by new and revitalised uses.
High quality, people-friendly streets and spaces will combine to link the riverside, railway station, business and residential areas with the heart of the town centre. The town centre will be highly accessible by all forms of transport and vehicle movement will be managed efficiently whilst maintaining an emphasis on the quality of the environment and the sense of place.
A wider range of shops, new housing, and leisure and community facilities will make Leatherhead a better place to live, work and visit. These developments will significantly enhance the quality and breadth of the town centre offer and deliver a sustainable and commercially successful mix of high street names and independent businesses.
As owner of the two strategic town-centre sites of Bull Hill and the Swan Centre, Mole Valley District Council undertook a competitive procurement process and in October 2023 appointed Kier Property as its 50:50 joint venture partner for the redevelopment of these two key projects. The joint venture now operates as The Leret Partnership – for full details please see theleretpartnership.co.uk.
