Multi-million pound plans for the regeneration of Redhill town centre and the redevelopment of Redhill Station will go on show this weekend.

The plans are the latest to be drawn up in the long-running Redhill Town Centre Area Action Plan process.

They include schemes for expanding and improving the shops at Warwick Quadrant, a new supermarket, cafes and restaurants on Cromwell Road, and new leisure uses and shops at Marketfield Way car park.

They also feature a scheme to redevelop Redhill Station to provide a new station building, hotel, homes and shops.

The action plan is being put together by Reigate and Banstead Borough Council, which is calling for local residents, workers and visitors to the town to give their views.

The borough council has said the plan, which has already been several years in the making, will be used to help guide the town’s physical regeneration, and to make sure that the right type of development happens in the right places at the right time.

The town centre is currently the focus of big schemes from supermarket giants Sainsbury's and ASDA, which it is hoped will create hundreds of local jobs.

ASDA has put in a planning application to open a 24-hour supermarket in Cromwell Road, and Sainsbury's last year won planning approval for its multi-million pound plans to redevelop its existing store with Aviva Investors.

And last month, borough chiefs raised the curtain on a possible multi-million pound plan for a new seven-screen cinema in the town centre, to run alongside the Harlequin Theatre Cinema.

The council said the scheme idea for Marketfield Way had drawn interest from two cinema businesses who it said were “very interested,” and two restaurant chains who it said might be interested in opening in the town.

A borough council spokeswoman said though that the proposals were at a very early stage.

Natalie Bramhall, borough council executive member for priority places, said: “We are committed to regenerating Redhill town centre to become a thriving town centre which is a prominent commercial location, a competitive retail destination and great place to live.”

Coun Bramhall said: “This plan is the culmination of several years’ work in planning the future Redhill, and builds on feedback from previous consultations and updated research.

“Now is your chance to tell us whether you agree with our regeneration proposals.”

One group which will be looking closely at the plans is The Reigate Society, the civic society for Reigate, Redhill and Merstham, which in 2009 attacked the then plan, saying two of its committees believed it had “the potential to damage the economic status of Redhill rather than enhance it.”

The society's architecture and planning committee and its Redhill committee agreed three of five strategic elements to the plans at that time were “flawed.”

The Redhill committee also pointed out that parking was planned to be reduced and high parking charges imposed to encourage more use of public transport.

The exhibition on the latest proposals will be mounted in The Belfry shopping centre this Friday and Saturday (January 20 and 21).

Staff from the borough council will be on hand to talk to visitors about the plans and answer questions.

The exhibition will then move to the Harlequin Theatre from Monday (January 23) and will run there until Friday, February 24, when the consultation will close at 5pm.

After the consultation, a borough council spokesman said the feedback will be used to update the plan for a further consultation in the autumn, before the action plan is submitted to the Secretary of State.

The council will then take steps to adopt the documents which will require a public examination in the spring of 2013.
