Guildford council approves North Street redevelopment changes

Changes to a major Surrey regeneration project have been criticised by councillors, despite being approved.

Guildford councillors have agreed to alterations to the redevelopment of North Street, signing off an extra storey on one building and a long list of design alterations required under new national fire-safety rules.

But despite voting the changes through on Wednesday, several councillors have criticised the updated designs.

Richard Mills called the plans "monolithic" and "top heavy", saying the designs represented a "significant reduction in quality", and weakened the project's contribution to Guildford's townscape.
