Addlestone Town Regeneration Scheme

This large-scale regeneration project provided Addlestone town center with a vibrant new leisure and retail hub.

The scheme is a collaboration between the developer Bouygues and the local council to provide the town with a best-in-class modern facility as the first stage of the town’s regeneration plan.

Uses include; A 100-bed Premier Inn with restaurant facilities, 20-30,000 ft² food store, 190 apartments, a 6-8 screen cinema, and more than 200,000 ft² of retail and leisure space, including gymnasiums and multiple food and beverage in all. Two multilevel car parks are included within the development service on the site’s east and west sides. The local council will acquire a portion of the properties to sell as affordable housing.

The scheme Masterplan centers around a central CHP district heating plant designed to provide the council with a steady source of income and provide the residents and retailers with competitive energy-efficient heating and hot water. This central provision will provide the sites with low/zero carbon, BREEAM Excellent/CODE-FSH 4, building regulation compliance, and providing heat to a number of further developments planned in the local area. The scheme is a Masterplan that extends its current boundaries.

In addition to district heating, water, and gas, the site also requires an electrical upgrade providing circa 4MW of power distributed around the site, which has to be carefully coordinated with the existing local services and the site’s varied usage. This has also been balanced against the necessary fire safety backup provision required for the car park ventilation and emergency evacuation.

Sustainability is a central focus of the scheme and the local council. This does not mean a focus on green technologies but a vision to provide a development that will promote ongoing investment and funding for the local community, which will last and remain valid to its community.

The project has been designed to provide a robust yet sympathetic structure for Addlestone’s continued development.
