 Main Docks Area
Planners employed by the South West
Regional Development Agency prepared a masterplan for the main docks
area in 2003. This established a framework within which developers
of individual sites could work out their detailed proposals. The plan
indicated that many of the refurbished and new buildings should
have shops, cafes or business units on the ground floor and residential
accommodation above. Car parks should be sited around the periphery,
leaving the central area traffic-free except for service vehicles.
Public areas should have high quality surfacing, street furniture
and visual arts features. For further information, see the following:

Work is well under way on
a £300 million redevelopment of the Bakers Quay, Llanthony
and Monk Meadow areas to the south of the main docks. The plans,
promoted by a partnership between Peel Developments and British
Waterways, include a new bridge to carry St Ann Way over the canal,
a designer outlet shopping centre, a new campus for the Gloucestershire
College (formerly GLOSCAT), a food superstore, a 90-bed hotel, offices,
business units, shops, car parking and 1000 homes. The management
contractor for the scheme is Bovis Lend Lease. For further information,

Bakers Quay South
The
southern half of Bakers Quay, including the former Downings
malthouses and Foster Bros Oil & Cake Mills, adjoins
the main Gloucester Quays development area but is under separate
ownership. Plans for redeveloping one of the malthouses were
approved in 2010. (More details)
Monk Meadow Quay North
Bloor
Homes are building houses and apartments on land to the south of the Monk Meadow
section of the Gloucester Quays project. The area was formerly occupied
by timber yards and a timber pond. The northern
section of the canal frontage will retain its existing trees and
have an open space with children's play area behind. The southern
section of the canal frontage, the northern half of Monk Meadow
Quay, will be used for housing. (More details).
Monk Meadow Quay South
British Waterways have submitted outline
plans for up to 142 dwellings on the southern half of Monk
Meadow Quay (formerly the Travis Perkins timber yard). All
matters apart from means of access are reserved for future determination.
