Gloucester, Cheltenham & Tewkesbury Joint Core Strategy Gloucester, Cheltenham & Tewkesbury Joint Core Strategy Strategic Flood Risk Assessment for Local Development Framework Level 2 FINAL REPORT October 2011 Halcrow Group Limited Guidance on the Use of SFRA Documentation: This Level 2 SFRA report and accompanying documents are part of a suite of documents designed to provide further information of flood risk within the Joint Core Strategy (JCS) area: • SFRA Level 1 (Published September 2008) provides an initial assessment of fluvial flood risk across the whole JCS area. • SFRA Level 2 (Published October 2011) provides a detailed assessment of multiple flood sources for specific sites within the JCS area which at the time of commissioning were potential development sites. • Additional work is currently being undertaken to identify whether additional sites need to be assessed as a supplement to SFRA L2. • Further updates to the existing documents may be undertaken when deemed necessary and expedient. • Surface Water Management Plans (SWMPs) are in progress for Gloucester, Cheltenham, Tewkesbury and Bishops Cleeve. The findings of these studies (and any additional SWMPS undertaken in the area) will be taken into consideration when completed and any necessary changes will be fed back into the SFRA Level 2. • New Flood Zone information contained herein should be used in conjunction with the Environment Agency’s existing Flood Zone mapping.

  • Two, Possibly Three Underground Workings (Connected History. a Full Archival Search Has Not Been Undertaken, However, Arkell
    Reprinted from: Glouoestershire Society for Industrial Archaeology Journal for 1994 pages 23-27 UNDERGROUND QUARRX'WORKIHGS AT QUARRY WOOD, SHERBORHE PARK, GLOUCESTERSHIRE. Arthur J Price. Two, possibly three underground workings (connected underground) are situated in the south west corner of the open quarry at Quarry Wood, Sherborne Park, Gloucestershire, National Grid Reference SP 16561408, altitude 165 m. They were surveyed with the permission and help of the National Trust in September 1993. Total surveyed length: 140 m, and vertical range 3.92 m. A copy of this report was sent to the National Trust who are undertaking an archaeological appraisal of the Park. History. A full archival search has not been undertaken, however, Arkell (1947) records the use of ‘Sherborne Stone‘ at Windsor, and later Oxford, from 1365. More specifically, Hull (1857) shows an engraving of the open quarry at Quarry Wood. He makes no mention of underground workings, but does at nearby Windrush where the quarry was worked underground before 1840. Arkell states that three galleries could be entered at Quarry Wood in the 1940s and that the quarry had remained in use until 1915 for estate use. This type of underground quarry came within the scope of various Government Mining and Quarrying Acts from c. 1880, however Sherborne does not appear in these mineral lists. No datable evidence was found underground for primary working, but the above data and more specifically the style of working, deterioration of wooden props, etc, points probably to a date c. 1860 - 1880, unless they were later worked illegally‘. Subsequent to the survey, members of the Gloucester Speleological Society found clay pipe.

The population growth rate between 2001 and 2011 at 5.7%, or an annual growth of 3,200 people, was lower than the national average of 7.8%. A third of the growth was attributable to Gloucester where demographic demand for services and infrastructure would have surged during the period. The current population consisted of 136,600 children and young people aged 0- 19, 349,000 adults aged 20-64, and 111,400 older people aged 65 or above.
