Princess Royal Barracks to be re-developed into extensive residential area

The site of the Princess Royal Barracks in Deepcut has received planning permission for a new development that will see the area turned into a sprawling residential estate, featuring 1,200 new homes.

According to a report on the matter in the local media, the full council of Surrey Heath Borough Council has approved plans to establish 1,200 homes, community buildings and sports facilities on the 12.3m sq ft site, that will also retain 7.4m sq ft of open space. It is believed that this extensive new development should satisfy one third of the borough’s housing needs in the period up to 2028.

Karen Whelan, chief executive of Surrey Heath Borough Council, said: "It is understandable that residents will be concerned about the impact of large-scale housing development in an area that has always enjoyed village life alongside a military barracks for a number of years."

Considering the specific requirements of such an extensive development project, the building contractor will probably have to employ additional staff, and the best way of managing this rather large workforce is via one of the comprehensive solutions provided by Time & Attendance South East.

Our systems are user-friendly, innovative and designed for the working environment. They also offer a wide array of features, such as support for contactless smart cards (which would really come in handy in a busy, dusty construction environment), as well as optional finger print biometrics and mobile phone SIM card support.
