1.3 Gloucester 1 Gloucester has changed significantly over the last 10 years, attracting over £900 million of investment. St Oswald’s Park, the city’s former Cattle Market, is now a thriving retail, leisure and residential development We have seen the revitalisation of the Docks, the development of Gloucester Quays outlet centre and leisure quarter and the regeneration of the Railway Triangle with a new Morrison's superstore together with a number of employment uses. Gloucester is fast becoming a major destination for leisure, retail and employment opportunities. 2 3 New (£9m) state of the art bus station now on site (completion Summer 2018). Residential development (95 apartments) now on site at Black Dog Way. TK Maxx opens in March 2017. Greyfriars development ( Linden Homes) now well advanced and creating a new city centre community. 4 GWR are investing £2.5M in a new car park and station entrance off Great Western Road. The necessary land has been acquired and we have appointed JLL/LDA to drive the Kings Quarter scheme forward. Revised scheme is mixed use gateway to the city – replacement car park, new Indoor Market, some retail/f&b, hotel, office/residential 5 £15M makeover of County Council offices at Shire Hall – being reclad, including the use of PV cells. City Heart to construct over 290 student units on city centre Barbican site, for University of Gloucestershire students. City and Country working to turn the former Gloucester Prison into a major new and desirable residential quarter of the city. Local Development Order (LDO) pre-determined strategic planning approval for Blackfriars area approved by Council’s Planning Committee. Listed former Fleece Hotel site – future to be determined following completion of £150,000 of intensive site investigations. 6 Bakers Quay – Phase One now on site. Premier Inn, Costa Coffee Drive Thru, Brewers Fayre restaurant and new residential apartment building. New 30,000sq ft Next Home and Fashion store granted consent at Peel Centre retail park. McCarthy & Stone due to start on site later in 2017 for development of retirement and assisted living complex. L&R Group have planning consent for restaurant development at Ladybellegate Quay. Public realm works to start in May 2017. 7 University of Gloucestershire to deliver their new £20m business school at their Oxstalls Campus. This will bring over 1000 students to the City. Gloucester City Football club granted consent to construct a new stadium within the city. 8 Our heritage is a fundamental part of the City and we are working hard to integrate it successfully with our regeneration targets. We have been able to deliver the external lighting of some of our exceptional buildings, adding to the atmosphere of Gloucester as part of our night-time and evening economy initiatives. Llanthony Secunda Priory (a former Augustinian priory) has recently received a £3M Heritage lottery award for major renovation works. Gloucester Cathedral is delivering a £6M project to create a world class public square in front of the Cathedral. The Cathedral has also fitted photovoltaic cells on its roof, arguably the oldest building in the world to benefit from such an installation. The Discover DeCrypt project in the city centre has also been granted £1.4m of HLF stage two funding. 9 We recognise the impact of events on the economic wellbeing of the city. We have a highly successful events programme which includes our signature event, the Tall Ships Festival, which brings in over 120,000 visitors. Following the success of our Scrumpty Trail this year we will follow a similar theme but using the Henson Pig Trail – a Gloucester Old Spot Pig named after the rare breed expert Joe Henson (father of TV star Adam) This summer Little Mix and Sir Tom Jones will perform at Gloucester Rugby’s Kingsholm Stadium. 10 Regeneration isn’t just about large scale projects. We also have a list of smaller properties which we are pressing hard to regenerate by giving support, encouragement and occasionally grants, to owners and developers. Collectively this adds up to many millions of pounds of investment. 11 12 .
