New engagement dates announced for Leatherhead town centre transformation proposals

19th February 2025

The Leret Partnership – a joint venture between Kier Property and Mole Valley District Council – will be undertaking a further period of engagement on the updated proposals for the regeneration of the Swan Centre and Bull Hill in Leatherhead.

This engagement follows a public consultation held between July and September 2024, during which feedback was gathered on the initial plans.

The project team has since refined the proposals to reflect community input and will undertake a further period of engagement. This includes an increase in public green space, the rearrangement of buildings on Bull Hill and a decrease in the height of the tallest buildings.

The Leret Partnership aims to deliver a transformative regeneration programme of the Swan Centre and Bull Hill. Key elements of the proposals include new homes, commercial and community spaces, improved public realm and enhanced connectivity around Leatherhead town centre.

Detailed information about the proposals and a summary of the previous consultation can be found on the project website at theleretpartnership.co.uk.

The upcoming engagement, starting on Monday 10^th March and ending midday on Monday 24^th March, will include two in-person events and one online webinar, offering opportunities to learn more about the updated proposals, meet the project team, and ask questions.

“I am very happy that The Leret Partnership are presenting revised plans following extensive consultation and we believe that the current scheme has responded to many concerns residents had about the initial proposals. We hope that residents see the positive changes that have been made and that the new plans will better serve Leatherhead.”

Cllr Keira Vyvyan-Robinson

Cabinet Member for Projects

"One of the standout aspects of my involvement has been the quality of guest speakers the Chambers bring in. For instance, I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Sven Hughes, CEO of Enigma Strategic Communications. His insights into strategic communications have been both enlightening and inspiring, offering new perspectives on how to approach challenges in my own field of communications. Another memorable Executive Roundtable event allowed me to meet Matt Letley, Co-Chair for B Lab’s "B Local Surrey" group, whose passion for fostering responsible business practices resonated with me and many others at the Roundtable. His guidance on how businesses can work towards certification while also strengthening community ties was invaluable. The Executive Roundtable has given me far more than just professional connections—it’s fostered a space where I can exchange ideas, discuss challenges, and celebrate successes with like-minded peers. Surrey Chambers of Commerce is a pivotal organisation in the local business ecosystem, and being a part of it continues to bring me both personal and professional growth." Paul Zimmerman, COO, INV Group.

I attended the Heathrow Summit conference and had the great good fortune of spending some time with Gary Hayes & Andy Willmott who were a real credit to the Chamber. If anyone is wondering whether being a Chamber member could help their business know this, they helped me with their knowledge of local contacts and we're in Cornwall! Thanks for your time fellas and keep up the good work!

Our membership of Surrey Chamber of Commerce has been instrumental in the growth of our business. It's opened many doors and so much of our new business can be tied back to a SCC introduction. We recommend joining the chambers to all of our micro/SME clients looking for funding, networking and brand awareness.

If you are looking for an organisation with a membership of like-minded business owners sharing common interests with a willingness to support colleagues, then in Surrey Chambers you have found what you are looking for. With caveat that yes, you have to put the work in to attend the meetings, thoroughly recommended.

I was recently at the Surrey Chambers Power Breakfast at Sandown Park Racecourse what a fantastic venue and breakfast. There was a good group of people, all with ‘can do’ attitudes as well as an engaging speaker. I obtained a number of new contacts and received further networking opportunities. I also felt that I had come from the breakfast having learnt something new which is a big bonus!
