An official planning application has been lodged for the construction of care housing on a disused university property in Surrey. The proposal includes the intended demolition and subsequent restoration of existing structures at the former University of Law’s Braboeuf Manor location in Guildford. According to the application, the project would deliver extra care housing, along with associated supporting accommodation, public realm improvements, and car parking facilities on the site, which has been unoccupied since the summer. The submission has been referred to Guildford Borough Council’s planning committee for review, following the receipt of 97 letters of objection. Additionally, the work would encompass the refurbishment of Pound Cottage, converting it for use as a single residential dwelling. The site, which spans 9.5 hectares (23.5 acres), is situated approximately 1.5 miles (2.4km) south-west of Guildford town centre. It currently contains 12 buildings and structures, including the Grade II listed Braboeuf Manor, various administrative buildings, and both squash and tennis courts.
