 Bakers
Quay
In the area behind Bakers
Quay, the plans show a designer outlet shopping centre, a multi-storey
car park, office and business units, cafes, restaurants, an hotel
and some housing. The outlet centre will have a collection of shops
offering large discounts on clothing and other specialist items
that are last season's stock, end of line products, quality seconds
or discontinued lines. (Outlet Centre
progress, Restaurant Quarter)
The area includes a number of large
warehouses and industrial buildings, many of which are being retained
and refurbished for the new uses.

 Llanthony
In the Llanthony area, the plans show
the new Gloucestershire College, an open area around the remains
of Llanthony Priory and a 90-bed hotel, housing and offices to the
south. (Gloucestershire College)
The final stage of Gloucester's
Inner Relief Road crosses the canal by a bridge that most pleasure
craft will be able to pass under and so will only need to be opened
for the occasional larger vessel. (High Orchard Bridge progress)
