Regeneration Gloucester has had a lot of investment over last years and has been given well over £700 million for city’s regeneration. Continuing with trend wishes progress the with regeneration of the Blackfriars area as indicated in top image. The Prison Site located within this area has great opportunity benefits the other sites. The Key principles for the area which are relevant to the prison site as follows: • Provide a more defined urban environment than currently exists, of a medium to high density • Help facilitate greater pedestrian and cycle permeability, in particular east‐west links through the area and links between development areas and the station, including improved crossings of the IDR Preserve the historic features in the area and enhance their setting where possible; • Provide additional areas of open space where possible, particularly in the centre of the new community; • Maintain, improve and create new access along the River Kennet. 2.2 The prison site therefore has a key role in drawing the wider opportunity area into the town centre through improved connections, continuity of the built environment, and linking areas of heritage assets with new development. The Gloucester council has indicated possible uses in the area • Premium office accommodation • A flagship hotel • Residential Units • Speciality Shops • Exhibition Facilities • Outstanding Public open spaces

HISTORICAL CONTEXT MACRO SCALE MICRO SCALE LISTED BUILDINGS

2.1

Historical Context 9th Century The castle was built at Gloucester soon after the Norman Conquest, New streets were laid out in the 9th century, many of which remain and the town walls were refortified.

1155 The hereditary sheriffs held Gloucester castle until 1155 until retained by the Crown, passing with the borough lordship to the widows of Henry III and Edward I. Henry III.

1085 The occasion of a Great Council meeting to commission the Domesday Book

AD97 The name Gloucester is derived from the first syllable of the Roman name Glevum, combined with the suffix “‐cester”,

1228 The site became known as the official county gaol.

1185 Part of the castle was being used as a gaol by 1185

In 1222, and a vineyard and a herb garden. The central feature was a massive square keep, evidently built by Walter of Gloucester in the early 12th century

1489 Parts of the castle buildings were demolished used for road repairs.

Figure 0.1

2.1

By 1914 the city centre had become almost entirely commercial. The area suffered little damage during World War II and modern prison buildings were added incrementally during the Post‐war period.

Historical Context In 1826, to the designs of John Collingwood, the perimeter walls were extended eastward to Barbican Road, a new debtors' prison was built east of the gatehouse and a new gatehouse was built in the north‐east part of the wall, opening on the Castle Lane approach.

Mid 19th Century Among buildings added later in the mid 19th century was a governor's house built in the south perimeter wall facing Commercial Road.

An Act of 1785 empowered the county magistrates to build a new gaol, and they acquired for that purpose the central part of the castle site. Demolition of the castle keep began in 1787, and the new gaol, designed by William Blackburn, was finished in 1791.

Figure 0.1

Prison closed and then sold to City and County Developers

In 1878, buildings passed the control of the county magistrates to become Her Majesty’s Prison, Gloucester.

In the years 1844–50 a new convict prison, originally organised on the “Pentonville” separate system, was built east of the gaol of 1791. This forms most of the present prison.

1787

2014

Late 19th Century The eastern ranges of the prison of 1791 were demolished in the late 19th or the very early 20th century, but its western range remained in use for female prisoners until c. 1915 when the prison became an all‐male establishment.

20th Century the prison accommodates referrals from three crown courts and thirty‐seven magistrate courts in the counties of Gloucestershire, Herefordshire and Worcestershire, while a small new block east of it houses a unit for 'special category' prisoners, opened in 1971

Geology & flooding

Flooding The site located next the river severn a tidal river and is Britain's longest river. Gloucester section of river offers opportunities for pleasure‐boating busy with narrowboats, motor cruisers and inland waterway boats. The site is in the Flood Zone 2 therefore, has been assessed as having between a 1 in 100 and 1 in 1,000 annual probability of river flooding in any year. Agency, E. (1999) The development will require to consult both the lead local flood authority and environmental agency as the site is within 20m of a main river and will require suitable solutions for surface water drainage. Central Gloucester is located on a spur of higher ground just above the floodplain of the River Severn. The city lies on lower lias clay and gravels in the flat Vale of Gloucester, which is itself part of the larger Vale of the Severn. To the north, west and south the terrain is largely flat, but the Cotswold escarpment, along with the outlying Robinswood Hill and Churchdown Hill, rises steeply to the east, at a distance of some 8 kilometres from the city centre. Within the city KEY centre, contours confirm that there is a high spot Flood Zone 1 close to the crossing point of the four main streets, with the steepest drop occurring on the Flood Zone 2 west side of Ladybellegate Street. The change in Flood Zone 3 gradient is also particularly noticeable along Westgate Street, which drops gradually towards the river and the historic quay area. Along the western edge of the Barbican Conservation Area, Footnote the Severn has changed course several times and https://www.gov.uk/guidance/flood‐risk‐assessment‐local‐planning‐authorities#flood‐zone‐2 it is likely that in the Roman and Saxon periods it was much closer to the city centre than now.

Geology & flooding Geology The ground conditions will require special consideration and will require further site investigation to fully understand. Ground may be effected by tidal height variation.

Listed Building Strategies • undertake an initial assessment prior to the submission of any planning application. • Indicate possible remains may be present on site, • arrange for a field evaluation to be carried out, in order to demonstrate the impact that the development will have on the remains to be submitted as part of any planning application • preservation historic environment remains. • impose appropriate conditions to ensure that investigation is carried out in accordance with the Council’s requirements prior to the development taking place. Provision should be made for appropriate archiving and public dissemination of the findings. Design constraints from the listing status owe will implicate design solution. • A detailed design in terms of scale, height, massing and alignment. • The use sympathetic building materials and techniques which respect those found on the building. • Preserve character of the setting of the building.

The procedure is known as Scheduled Monument Consent or SMC. 'Works' are defined by the 1979

If development can only occur after excavation has taken place, the Council will seek to enter into a S.106 legal agreement.

Scheduled Monument 1.26 Glevum Roman coloniaijj List entry Number: N/a National Grid Reference: SO8284518540 Grade: Scheduled Monument area Summary :Roman fortress was established at Kingsholm 1.5km north of Gloucester in about 49 when the Roman army was campaigning in south Wales. It had a short life and in the late 60s a second fortress was built where the modern town centre now stands. In the reign of the Emperor Nerva (96‐98) the fortress was converted into a town with the title of Colonia Nervia Glevensium for retired soldiers. The early town buildings were converted army barracks and the town defences were the old fortress defences. In the 2nd century a large forum and basilica complex was built along with other monumental buildings and the town continued to flourish until the end of the Roman period.
