Caterham Barracks
For more than one hundred years, the army barracks dominated the community of Caterham-on-the-Hill. Following closure there were significant impacts on the social and economic life of the town.
Tandridge District Council organised a public consultation that designated a large part of the site a Conservation Area and produced a Planning Brief. Although this brief was considered unviable by many developers, locally based Linden Homes bought the site, believing additional development would be acceptable if significant community benefits were delivered.
Delivery Included:
• A Community Planning Weekend attended by over 1000 local people, with follow-up forums and topic working groups which helped to develop the masterplan.
• Transformation of the barracks into a vibrant and sustainable new mixed-use neighbourhood with carefully planned public spaces and buildings incorporating 361 homes with a range of housing tenures.
• Retention and refurbishment of the listed chapel and 18 other buildings.
• Reconnection of the site to its surroundings through reuse and the opening of the boundary wall for accessibility to the newly created public realm, amenities and services.
• A dedicated, self-financing bus service to connect the village with Caterham railway station.
• Prioritisation of pedestrians and cyclists within the public realm.
• Creation of a Community Development Trust to manage business, leisure and community facilities on the site.
