EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Mount Browne has been the headquarters of Surrey Police for over 70 years, and we are proud to be part of the community here in Guildford. We know that parts of our estate are ageing; are not best designed to meet the needs of policing our communities in the 21st Century; and could be far more sustainable and efficient, both financially and environmentally. The Force previously purchased land in Leatherhead, in 2018, to develop a new, purpose-built headquarters from the ground up. However, following a review of the programme in November 2021, the Police and Crime Commissioner and the Surrey Police Chief Officer team took the decision to retain Mount Browne, and redevelop the existing site. Since that decision, work has been taking place in the background as we reimagine the site, to ensure that Mount Browne and our wider estate is fit for the future over the long-term. The newly created post of Head of Estates Capital Programme will be responsible for the delivery of the Surrey Estates Strategy capital works programme including delivery of the Mount Browne Redevelopment Project.
