UK real estate investment adviser Bradda Capital has secured planning consent for the comprehensive retrofit of 31 Chertsey Street in Guildford town centre.
The approved plans will see the existing three-storey, 31,000 sq ft office building transformed into a high-quality, future-fit workspace, featuring upgraded amenity space and enhanced sustainability measures.
Designed by Hale Brown Architects, the plans include the removal of the redundant link bridge between 31 Chertsey Street and the adjacent Bottle Works building, creating a more open and attractive streetscape.
The upgraded building will incorporate 80 rooftop photovoltaic panels, air source heat pumps and low-energy LED lighting, which are expected to cut the building’s carbon emissions by up to 99%. Construction is scheduled to commence in late summer with completion due in early 2026.
David Phillips, managing director of Bradda Capital, said: “We’re delighted to receive planning consent for this significant refurbishment project focused on decarbonising the building and reducing its carbon footprint. 31 Chertsey Street is a key asset in our portfolio, and this investment will not only enhance the working environment for future tenants but also support Guildford’s transition to a greener, more sustainable future.”
BNP Paribas Real Estate and Owen Isherwood are joint letting agents at 31 Chertsey Street.
