Reigate & Banstead Borough Council have been proactive and are working with commercial developers to regenerate strategic sites within the town. A new £50m redevelopment of Redhill station has been approved by the council which will be anchored by a new 25,000 sq ft Waitrose store, additional retail and also the development of 150 new homes. The station will have 450 new car parking spaces to complete the regeneration.
A new Sainsbury’s store has been completed at the prominent, Warwick Quadrant development. This also includes 560 new car parking spaces, a Travelodge hotel and gym together with the redevelopment of the existing Harlequin Theatre and Redhill Library.
In addition, the Marketfield Way redevelopment has commenced to provide a new multi-screen cinema, new restaurants, shops, leisure and office uses on the ground and first floors. 150 new one and two bedroomed homes are to be privately rented and a landscaped new pedestrian route, flanked by shops and restaurants, linking the High Street to Marketfield Way. This is due to complete in summer 2022.
