Sainsbury‟s superstore at Barnett Way, Hucclecote local centre, Abbeydale District centre
and Lidl‟s on Eastern Avenue.
Despite its geographical size and level of population the ward does not have a centrally
located health centre or community centre.

Appendix 1
1.0 Physical Character of the Area
1.1 Location
Barnwood ward is located to the east of the City Centre in the north of the administrative
area of the City. It is a large ward that comprises a mix of established employment areas,
older local authority and owner occupied housing stock, and modern owner occupied
housing developments. The ward is bounded to the east by Elmbridge, Kingsholm and
Wotton and Barton and Tredworth wards, to the south by Matson and Robinswood and
Abbey wards and to the east by Hucclecote ward.

1.2 The Historical Development of Barnwood
Barnwood is first mentioned in the Domesday survey of 1086 where it is recorded as an
estate owned by Gloucester Abbey. This estate later became known as Barnwood Court,
which survives with its associated church (St. Lawrence‟s) to the present day. The earliest
element of the historic landscape within the ward is the Roman Road known as Ermin Street
(now Barnwood Road). Archaeological excavations alongside the road have uncovered
Roman inhumations, and it is generally accepted that Roman cemeteries once extended
along Ermin Street on either side of the road.
During the medieval period it is assumed that settlement was focused around Barnwood
Court and St Lawrence church. A small village focused around a church and manor house
would be very typical of the medieval period and it is likely that this settlement extended up
to Barnwood Road.
The first edition Ordnance survey map of 1886 shows the ward was still at that time
predominantly farmland. Settlement (which would have developed from the medieval
period) has spread along Barnwood Road. Barnwood Court and St Lawrence Church are
clearly visible, still in open countryside, to the south of Barnwood Road. Barnwood Court is
situated within an oval enclosure which may originally have been a deer park. Away from
Barnwood Road settlement in 1886 is focused in the south of the ward around Coney Hill.
Figure 2: Historic Map of Barnwood Ward

The most obvious building on the map is Barnwood House Hospital (1860 – 1968) which
was a private mental hospital, the chapel and gardens of the hospital still survive in what is
now Barnwood arboretum. The second large building is the county Lunatic Asylum (later
Mental hospital) which also no longer survives which was located at Coney Hill.
The Ordnance Survey map of 1923 shows only minor changes to the ward since 1886, an
increase in development in and around Barnwood Road being the most obvious. Extensive
residential development around Coney Hill, is shown on maps dating from the mid 1930s
and the Coney Hill cemetery is also shown for the first time.
By the 1950s extensive residential development had been undertaken linking housing
around Coney Hill with that at Barnwood Road. Eastern Avenue had also been constructed.
Today the ward does retain some key elements of the historic landscape, most particularly
the route of Barnwood Road, Barnwood Court and St Lawrence Church.
1.3 Character of the area
Barnwood ward covers a large area to the east of the City and includes a diversity of
housing and employment areas, strategic infrastructure, primary and secondary schools and
a range of private and public open space.
The ward is bounded to the north by the A417, northern ring road, to the west by the
Birmingham to Bristol main line railway, to the east by the residential wards of Hucclecote
and Abbey and and to the south by residential development in Abbey, Matson, Saintbridge
and Tredworth. The extent of the ward is shown in Figure 3.
The Horsbere Brook runs to the north of the ward and the Wotton Brook runs east to west
through the ward mostly as an open brook but in places as a covered culvert. The River
Twyver runs to the south of the ward passing through Clock Tower open space and Coney
Hill before being culverted under the A38.
Figure 3: Barnwood Ward
5
The A38, Eastern Avenue runs north south to the west of the ward running roughly parallel
to the main line railway. The employment land in the ward lies either side of this arterial
route way and includes a mix of factories, commercial premises and purpose built retail
warehouses including Walls, Peugeot, In bev, Homebase, Staples and A3 roadside
franchises. A series of smaller industrial estates lie between the A38 and the railway line
including Chase Lane, Eastville Close, Chancel Close, Southbrook Road and Northbrook
Road. Eastbrook Road Industrial Estate lies to the east of the A38.
A further large area of employment land lies to the north of the ward between the A38 and
the Barnwood Road at Barnett Way. This area is home to large employers such as EDF,
Lloyds Financial Services and Sainsbury‟s.
Housing in the ward is split into distinct housing areas; Cathedral City, the Barnwood Avenue
& Barnwood Road area; Coney Hill; The Askwith Road and Chequers Road area; Broad
Leys Road and Newstead Road Estate; Blake Hill Way, The Oaks and Clock Tower Estate,
and Lilliesfield Avenue and Brookfield Road.
6
Cathedral City
The Cathedral Housing Estate is accessed from the A38 and comprises an area of local
authority housing which now provides a mix of tenures. The majority of this estate
comprises semi detached brick built and rendered dwellings. There are also some flats on
this estate which is spacious in character with dwellings having both front and rear gardens.
There is good pedestrian and cycle routes through the estate from Eastern Avenue through
to Barnwood Avenue and Barnwood Road.
Barnwood Avenue and Barnwood Road
This area comprises some of the oldest housing in the ward and includes Colin Road,
Barnwood Avenue, Barnwood Road and the cul de-sac‟s situated off Barnwood Road,
including the recently constructed Greenways Estate. The housing in these areas is
predominantly owner occupied and comprises a mix of detached and semi detached brick
built and rendered properties with some older Victorian properties enjoying spacious plots
and generous gardens.
To the south of this area of housing, between the Cathedral Estate and Metz Way lies
Barnwood Park Arts College, a girls‟ secondary school which serves the wider local area and
City centre. Coney Hill Rugby Club lies between the school grounds and Eastbrook Road
Trading Estate.
Coney Hill
Coney Hill comprises a large area of semi detached and terraced housing constructed
during the late 1930‟s and late 1940‟s by the local authority. The estate is served by Coney
Hill Road which runs east from the A38 Eastern Avenue, runs to the south of the
7
crematorium and turns northwards to join Metz Way at the junction of Abbeymead Avenue
and Church Lane. Coney Hill has a small local centre, a church, primary school, children‟s
centre and youth centre. Hawthorne Avenue runs from Coney Hill local centre to Heron Way
in Abbeydale while Birch Avenue provides connectivity with Askwith Road.
The City Crematorium is located at Coney Hill providing for both burials and cremations.
The facility has recently been upgraded to comply with European legislation and to provide a
garden of remembrance and a tea room with facilities for wakes.
More recently new owner occupied housing has been built at Coney Hill in the form of
apartments and semi detached and detached dwellings on the site of the old primary school.
There is additional new affordable housing at West Lodge Drive. A new primary school and
associated children‟s centre have been constructed at Coney Hill to serve the local
population
Askwith Road and Chequers Road
Askwith Road is a small area of post war semi detached and terraced housing that lies to the
north of Painswick Road and to the south of Coney Hill. The density of housing in this area
is greater than adjacent Coney Hill. Askwith Road has a doctors surgery. Although this falls
in the Matson and Robinswood Ward, it also serves the residents living in Barnwood.
The Chequers Road area has inter war housing similar to that found on Coney Hill. Housing
fronting Painswick Road is older in character and includes Victorian terraces with frontages
set close to the back edge of the footway.
8
Broad Leys Road and Newstead Road Estate
This area of modern housing development is bounded by Barnwood Park, Cherston Court
and Barnwood House to the north, North Upton Lane to the east, Abbeymead Avenue to the
south and Church Lane to the east.
The area comprises owner occupied family housing and was constructed during the 1980‟s
and 1990‟s. The estate is laid out as a series of cul-de-sacs off the main distributor roads of
Churchview Drive, Broad Leys Road, Spinney Road and Newstead Road. Churchview Drive
is accessed from Church Lane, Broad Leys Road from Abbeymead Avenue and Newstead
Road from North Upton Lane.
The estate has good permeability and connectivity with the surrounding area with strategic
footpaths and cycleways following former hedge routes. There are many large mature trees
across the area which have been retained either within hedges or within areas of open
space, this gives the area a particularly mature and established character and provides a
9
connectivity with the natural environment that is not present elsewhere in the ward.
Blake Hill Way, The Oaks and ClockTower Estate
This area has been developed between 1990 and 2010 and comprises modern housing that
is predominantly owner occupied but also includes areas of social housing in line with
national planning policy guidance. Many of the dwellings are detached but there are also
semi detached and terraced units as well as flats over garages, front gardens are small but
all properties enjoy a rear amenity space.
Blake Hill Way, The Oaks and Kimberland Way are all accessed from the main distributor
road of Abbeymead Avenue. There is good pedestrian and cycle permeability and
connectivity in this part of the ward with cycle ways and footways designed into the
development which also contains a large area of public open space known as Clock Tower
Park.
10
Upton Close and Lilliesfield Avenue
This is a mature residential area with the original route of North Upton Lane having once
been the lane to Upton St. Leonards from Hucclecote/Barnwood. Dwellings in Upton Close
and Quail Close are predominantly detached with properties on the eastern side of Upton
Close reflecting house building styles from the Victorian period to the present day.
The Lilliesfield Avenue and Brookfield Road area comprises post war detached and semi
detached housing including bungalows at Anbrook Crescent. Properties enjoy front gardens
and off road parking as well as rear gardens. The large public open space of King George V
Playing Field lies to the south east of this area.
Other significant areas in the ward include the Crematorium and Cemetery at Coney Hill,
Saintbridge Allotment gardens and balancing ponds open space, King George V Playing
11
Field, Coney Hill Rugby Club and Coney Hill Park, Barnwood Park Arts College and the
award wining Barnwood Park & Arboretum.
1.4 Hierarchy of routes
The A38 dual carriageway runs north south to the west of the ward. The Barnwood Road runs east
west through the ward, to the east towards Brockworth and to the west to the City centre. Metz
Way and Abbeymead Avenue also run east west through the ward providing access to the City
Centre and to Abbeymead, Abbeydale and Brockworth to the east.
Coney Hill Road provides direct access from Eastern Avenue to Coney Hill, Church Lane,
Hawthorn Avenue and North Upton Lane provide connectivity north south through the ward.
Barnett Way provides a circular route through the employment area to the north of the ward
and is accessed solely from the C&G roundabout.

2.0 Demographics
2.1 Population
The 2011 Census shows that despite its large geographical area Barnwood ward is ranked
3rd in terms of population for the City with 10,317 people representing 8.5% of the population
of the City
2.2 Age
The breakdown of age cohorts is provided in Figure 4 below;
Figure 4: Breakdown of Population by age
Source: 2011 Census data
Figure 3 clearly shows the high level of childern and young people in Barnwood Ward and a
peak in those aged 40-49. This suggests a large number of families living in the ward and
significantly fewer numbers of older people aged 70 plus.
The breakdown of population by cohorts is illustrated below in Figure 5 below. It clearly
demonstrates the high numbers of children in the ward, especially the high number of
teenageers with boys aged between 10 and 20 being a significant feature. A greater number
of women than men aged between 40-50 is also demonstrated as well as a larger number of
woment than men aged 75 plus.
13
Figure 5:Breakdown of population cohorts by sex

2.3 Ethnicity
The following table displays the ethnic make up of the city in 2006, this data demonstrates
that the population of Barnwood consists of 91.1% White British and 8.9% Ethnic Minority
groups. This means that Barnwood is ranked 6th highest ward in the City with regard to those
from a non white British back ground.
Table 1: Ethnicity within Gloucester City

14
2.4 Gender
The discussion under Figure 5 clearly highlights the discrepancies between genders within
the ward.
What is clear is the high number of teenage boys in the ward aged between 10-19, also the
high number of men aged between 25-30. There are then more women than men for each
cohort up to age 60. However from 75 onwards there continue to be more women than men
(it is well documented that women live longer than men).
2.5 Housing Tenure
The housing tenure split for Barnwood is illustrated in Figure 6 below and clearly
demonstrates that the majority of housing in the ward is owner occupied (74%), with 13% of
the housing stock in the social rented sector and 11% in the private rented sector.
Figure 6: Tenure within Barnwood Ward
Source: 2011 Census
The comparison chart in Figure 7 below shows that Barnwood has a higher level of owner
occupation than other tenures in the ward, and a higher level of socially rented
accommodation than its neighbours to the east of Abbey and Hucclecote. The higher levels
of social rented accommodation have been achieved by ensuring via the planning system
the delivering of affordable housing through new housing schemes at the former Coney Hill
Hospital and primary school sites. Barnwood has a less than average amount of private
rented housing with 11% compared to the average of 17%.

2.6 Profile of housing stock
Some housing fronting onto Barnwood Road dates from the Victorian and Edwardian period
including large villas and smaller semi detached and terraced cottages.
In 1932 the local authority began to build houses at the western end of Coney Hill including
Birch Avenue and Willow Way. Construction of the Chequers Road and Malmesbury Road
area began in 1937 and 1938 along with the eastern end of Coney Hill. Construction ceased
during the Second World War and resumed post war with Coney Hill east being completed
between 1946 and 1948. Later editions included the completion of Pegotty Bungalows in
1970.
Construction of the Cathedral estate commenced during 1949 and completed in 1951 with
the flats on the estate being built in 1960 and Wells Road added to the estate in 1958.
The Colin Road, Barnwood Avenue and Lilliesfield Road areas were completed at a similar
time as Coney Hill with infill plots along the Barnwood Road being completed during this time
too.
More recent development has included the construction of the Newstead Road, Broad Leys
Road and Churchview Drive areas during the late 1980‟s and early 1990‟s. The Blake Hill
Way and the Oaks areas were constructed between the mid 1990‟s and 2000‟s and the
south eastern area of new housing in the ward was completed between mid 2000 and 2010.
16
Barnwood ward has a higher than average percentage of houses and bungalows at 92%
compared to the average for Gloucester of 83%. In turn, Barnwood has a lower than
average percentage of flats at 8% compared to the district average of 16%.
Barnwood has a lower than average percentage of one and two bedroom properties but
higher percentage of three, four and five bedroom properties. Barnwood has the highest
percentage of properties with five or more bedrooms in Gloucester with this size of dwelling
comprising 6% of the housing stock.
A movement towards developing private rented flats and sustaining the amount of affordable
housing would improve the balance of tenure and size of accommodation available in the
ward.
There are 114 properties classed as empty in the Barnwood ward (2012) out of a total of
1777 in the city (6.4%).
2.7 Energy efficiency of housing stock
Thermal imaging of the City shows that for Barnwood ward the thermal efficiency of the
housing stock is very mixed and patchy.
Some of the older housing stock on Coney Hill show no heat loss suggesting thermal
efficiency, it is understood that Gloucester City Homes have retrofitted all their housing stock
to ensure good thermal efficiency. Newer housing generally performs better with regard to
thermal efficiency, with older housing stock being less thermally efficient however this is a
wide generalisation and as stated above thermal efficiency across the ward was mixed and
patchy even within areas of similar aged housing stock.
A household is deemed to be in fuel poverty if they spend more than 10% of their income of
heating their home. 5.2% of households in Barnwood are in fuel poverty, which is lower than
the local authority average of 5.5%.
2.8 Housing Need
The 2009 Fordham Research Gloucestershire household survey identified Barnwood as
lying in the north west sub area of the city which has a cumulative total of 17,625
households. Of these 4.1% are households in unsuitable housing and 2.3% are in current
housing need.

3.8 Community Groups and Services
Barnwood has a Community Partnership and a residents Association, which are likely to

Pathways around Coney Hill Park and improvements to access road from Metz Way
and Stanway Road
Clock Tower Park – install second tennis court and improved access to play area
Walking groups on Thursdays and Sundays
Play Rangers activities in Coney Hill area
Management Plan for Clock Tower Park and possible Green Flag submission.
Litter around Greenways
Support for the Vibe Youth Club
Organise clear ups and the Annual Community Day
21
They work with Gloucester City Council, Gloucestershire County Council, Gloucester City
Homes, the Police and local businesses, schools and community groups to address these
issues.
The Barnwood Park and Arboretum has a successful Friends group, with 80 members.
They carry out 10 activities a year in the Park and Arboretum and also monitor the area and
report any issues swiftly. The park has its own management plan.
There are pockets of active involvement within the ward and a number of individuals who
have formed successful groups which have effective plans in place and work with the
Council, the voluntary sector and other statutory organisations to deliver real improvements.
Within this ward the focus for many of these groups is around public open spaces. These
include groups such as:
GL4 together: A group who maintain and plan activities around the Saintbridge Allotments
and Balancing Pond
Friends of Willow Way: A small yet effective group, who have come together to bring an area
of wasteland back into use for the benefit of the community.
A Community Organiser is currently working in the Coney Hill area of Barnwood. Her role is
to work with residents on making improvements where these have been identified by
residents themselves. She is working to build trust, respect and networks through dialogue
with local residents and from this will enable people to take action on their own behalf and
have the power and confidence to tackle the issues which are important to them, rather than
wait for the local authority or the government to do it for them.
There is one youth centre, The Vibe, in the ward, which provides youth drop in sessions, a
job club, a regular health information point and is also a venue where a Young Carers Group
and disability youth group meets regularly. Play Gloucestershire carry out play sessions

number of parents joining in on the sessions.
The current after school sessions in Birch Avenue are also proving just as popular with an
average attendance of 25+. Gloucester City Homesand The Vibe are leading on a new youth
project called Streetwise. This project provides young people with the opportunity to learn
new skills and develop confidence through working in their local community. Projects
include local green cleans in the area, working with the Neighbourhood Coordinator.
There are roughly 15 active groups in the Barnwood ward.

4.2 Deprivation Map
The following map illustrates the Indices of Deprivation for Gloucester 2010.The map is
compiled by looking at income deprivation, employment deprivation, health and disability,
education, skills and training, crime and disorder, barriers to housing services, and living

4.3 Headline Indicators
The map above is a fair representation of deprivation indicators for the ward which sees
Coney Hill and the Saintbridge area featuring predominantly in the top national quintile of
deprivation for most indicators but most significantly for all of the following; income
deprivation, especially as it affects children; education, skills and training and crime and
disorder.
Significantly no areas of the ward are in the highest national quintile of deprivation for
employment deprivation or health and disability, suggesting access to employment
opportunities in this part of the City are good.
The deprivation indicators clearly show the differences in the different communities within
the ward with Coney Hill experiencing the worst deprivation, the Saintbridge and St.
Lawrence Road areas experiencing lesser deprivation but still being identified as within the
second highest national quintile for many indicators and the rest of the ward falling within the
lowest or second lowest national quintiles for deprivation on all indicators.
4.4 Health
The Director of Public Health‟s report for Gloucester from 2009 -2010 shows that Coney Hill
and Saintbridge lower super output areas each have 101-200 households with existing
health problems. The area of Barnwood adjacent to Hucclecote also has 51-100 households
with existing health problems. This issue is illustrated by the map below.
25
The same report identifies the wider Coney Hill area and Saintbridge as areas harbouring
future health problems. Indicators of potential ill health include high numbers of smokers &
poor diet including insufficient fresh fruit and vegetables and high levels of consumption of
fast food and sugary drinks, this is illustrated on the map below.
Community Health Trainers work in the Coney Hill area of the ward. The health trainers offer
support, information and guidance to people who want to make changes to their lifestyle.
They can offer realistic and practical help with:
• Improving wellbeing, reducing stress and feeling better about yourself
• Healthy eating and weight management
• Stopping smoking
• Sensible drinking
• Becoming more physically active
The service is free, non-judgemental, confidential and quick and easy to access.
26
4.5 Crime
Based on data recorded between 1st April 2009 and 31st March 2010 in Barnwood Ward the
highest incidences of crime occur along Eastern Avenue around Barnett Way.
Data from the Gloucester City Community Safety Partnership for 2012 demonstrates an
increase in all recorded crime between 2010/11 and 2011/12 with increases in burglary, all
recorded crime and criminal damage and a substantial increase in all recorded violence.
In a Safer Gloucester “Have Your Say” consultation of residents in 2009 in Coney Hill, 95%
said they felt safe walking alone in the area in daytime and only 7% felt very unsafe walking
alone in the area at night. 36% of residents felt that teenagers hanging around were a
problem and 27% felt that underage drinking was a problem. Most of the surveyed
residents, however, had felt there were good relationships within the community and with
agencies such as the Council and the Police.
A Designated Public Place Order (DPPO) was placed on all green spaces in Barnwood
Ward in August 2009 in response to residents complaints about anti social behaviour in
Coney Hill Parade in particular. The DPPO makes it an offence to continue drinking in the
area when asked by a police officer or PCSO to stop.
4.6 Car ownership
Generally car ownership levels within the ward are high. The Coney Hill area has less car
ownership but other areas shown to have 12.5-18.5% of households without a car or van lie
within the employment areas of the ward and do not have many households living within
them.
Those without access to a car or van do have access to two high frequency bus routes
running through the ward. The number 10 serving Gloucester and Cheltenham and the
Coney Hill and Abbeydale services.

5.0 Economics
5.1 Employment
(Source: Gloucestershire County Council Unemployment Bulletin November 2012)
In November 2012 Barnwood was ranked 116th out of 142 wards in the County with regard
to unemployment based on an analysis of claimant counts. With a rate of 3.3 the ward is in
the second highest quartile of claimants in the County, the City having an average
unemployment rate of 4.1.
Table 3: Claimant Count in Gloucester by Ward November 2012
Source: Gloucestershire County Council
29
5.2 Average Household Income
Data from 2007 shows that compared to the rest of the County average household income in
Barnwood is not a specific issue, however when considering the claimant count in the ward
in Table 2 above and the numbers of benefit claimants in the deprivation indicators above it
is clear that there are those in the ward for whom income generation is an issue.
5.3 Educational Achievement
Data provided from the County for 2010/11 demonstrates that within the ward, of 165 pupils
at the end of Key Stage 4, 90 (54.5%) achieved 5 GCSE‟s including maths and English
while 125 (75.7%) achieved 5 GCSE‟s. The comparison of achievement of pupils in
Barnwood against the rest of the City can be seen in Figure 9 below.

5.4 Retail
Barnwood has one local shopping centre identified in the Gloucester City Second Deposit
Local Plan (2002) at Coney Hill. This is a small local centre that serves the Coney Hill
community and has two convenience stores and a chip shop. One of the convenience
stores hosts a post office.
30
Sainsbury‟s superstore is situated in Barnett Way to the north of the ward and is easily
accessed from the ward by pedestrians and cycles via Church Lane and Welveland Way.
Other single shops include Barnwood News on the corner of Grove Crescent and Barnwood
Road and Budgens newsagents, the Newton Avenue shop and convenience store and petrol
station on the Barnwood Road.
Lidl convenience store is located on Eastern Avenue in close proximity to the junction of
Coney Hill Road.
Other retail uses on Eastern Avenue include large carpet, furniture, electrical and home
office retail warehouses, car showrooms and Homebase DIY store. There is a McDonalds
and Pizza Hut restaurant on Eastern Avenue and a Kentucky Fried Chicken franchise on
Metz Way.
A Post Office is located within the Wotton Hall Club on Barnwood Road and is open from
9am to 6pm Monday to Friday and 9am to 12pm on a Saturday.
31
5.5 Public Transport
The Barnwood Road is well served by the high frequency No. 10 bus service which runs
between Cheltenham Town Centre and Tuffley via Gloucester City. The route provides
access to the employment area of Gloucester Business Park as well as the major
employment, retail and service centres of Gloucester and Cheltenham. This service runs
every 10 minutes.
The No. 5 runs along Metz Way and Abbeymead Avenue to Abbeydale and Upton St.
Leonards. The service runs every 15 minutes and every 12 minutes at peak times.
The Nos. 3 & 4 run along Barton Street onto Eastern Avenue along Coney Hill Road and on
to Abbeydale and Brockworth. This route provides Coney Hill with connectivity to the
Brockworth District Centre as well as Gloucester City Centre. This service runs every 15
minutes and every 30 minutes through to Brockworth.
There is a once a day service each way from Chester Road to the City centre.
5.6 Cycle Ways
Large areas of new housing in the ward erected from the 1980‟s onwards encorprate
strategic footpath and cycle ways to provide connectivity and permeability through the ward
without the need to cycle on roads.
Cycle routes in the wards travelling east –west include;
Metz Way and Abbeymead Avenue
Coney Hill Road-Willow Avenue–Birch Avenue
St. Lawrence Road - York Road
Barnwood Road
Cycle routes travelling north -south include;
Eastern Avenue
Corinium Avenue
Church Land – Welveland Way- Barnet Way- Walls Factory
5.7 Congestion
The Barnwood Road experiences congestion during the morning peak eastbound towards
the City with an average of 4 minutes delay (Gloucestershire County Council Congestion
Monitoring report 2010/11) with Metz Way experiencing increasing congestion resulting in
almost 3 minutes delay during the morning peak between 7.30 am and 9.30am.
32
The A38 Corinium Avenue, Eastern Avenue, lower Barnwood Road and Metz Way are all
identified as having between 20,000 and 50,000 vehicular movements per day and therefore
are some of the busiest roads in the City.
Barnwood Road between Walls roundabout and Church Lane has between 15,000 and
20,000 vehicular movements per day, Barnwood Road between Church Lane and North
Upton Lane, North Upton Lane ,and Metz Way between the A38 and Church Lane each
have between 10,000 and 15,000 vehicular movements per day. Church Lane experiences
6,000 to 10,000 vehicular movements per day.
This data suggests that the ward experiences high numbers of vehicular movements on a
daily basis with large delivery vehicles concentrated to the north of the Ward on Corinium
Avenue and the A40 northern by pass and the A38 Eastern Avenue.
It is understood that the roundabout junctions at either end of Corinium Avenue, known
locally as Walls roundabout and the C&G roundabout are currently operating at capacity at
morning and evening rush hour peaks.
33
6.0 Land use Issues
6.1 Conservation and Archaeology
There are no conservation areas within the ward. St. Lawrence Church is a Grade II listed
building and there are three other listed buildings on Barnwood Road and three in Barnwood
Avenue. None of the listed buildings are on the Council‟s Buildings At Risk Register.
There are no scheduled monuments within Barnwood Ward.
There are four Areas of Principal Archaeological Interest, these are:
1. Barnwood Villa and Cemetery
2. Saintbridge Allotments (Site of possible Iron Age settlement)
3. Barnwood Gravels (contains prehistoric material and is the site of Roman burials and
settlement)
4. Hucclecote Prehistory (Prehistoric and Roman archaeological sites)
6.2 Public Open space
The Draft Open Space Strategy (2012) indicates that the ward meets or exceeds the City
Council‟s proposed open space standard of 2.8 ha per 1000 population but has a shortfall of
between 1-29% of sports pitch provision of 1.6ha per 1000 population.
Some of the open spaces in the ward were created as part of housing development, to
provide space for formal and informal recreation. Barnwood Park and Arboretum originally
formed the grounds of a large private house and Clock Tower Park was part of the grounds
of a hospital. Saintbridge balancing pond, allotments and Coney Hill cemetery all perform
very specific functions.
King George V playing field borders Barnwood and Hucclecote and is used regularly by local
sports clubs. The Oaks and Coney Hill Park are also well used by Junior football clubs.
Maintenance of the spaces varies depending on the use ranging from short mown grass to
more natural sites managed for wildlife at Barnwood Arboretum and Saintbridge Pond.
34
In total the ward has 62.06ha of open space, a provision of 6.14ha per1000 population,
which is in excess of the proposed open space standard of 2.8ha per 1000.
There are some formal sports pitches provided in the ward which are used by local and other
teams. There are several privately owned sites in the ward with accessible or shared use
outdoor facilities and these are included in the sports pitch calculation.
There are several play areas in the ward, equating to 0.12ha per 1000, which falls short of
the proposed standard for formal play provision of 0.25ha per 1000.
Saintbridge allotments provide 4.9ha of open space with 37 starter plots, 147 full plots and 3
large community plots.

Barnwood ward meets the council‟s adopted standard for open space quantity, but many
sites fall well short of the expected standard in terms of quality of park infrastructure and
facilities. Improvements in provision should therefore concentrate on expanded high quality
play and sports facilities and ensuring optimum maintenance and usage of sports pitches on
existing sites.
Other local priorities will be developed in consultation with the local community as
part of the development of the Barnwood Ward Open Space Action Plan.

6.3 Green infrastructure
The City of Gloucester Green Infrastructure plan identifies the Wotton Brook as an open
watercourse and wildlife corridor running through the ward. The Ward enjoys a number of
green corridors in the form of strategic cycle ways and footpaths, as well as larger open
spaces. The Barnwood Ward natural environment plan is provided below.
Figure 12: Barnwood Ward Natural Environment Plan
6.4 Biodiversity
The following sites of nature conservation are identified on the 2001 First Deposit Local Plan
Proposals map.
39
NC.5 – Saintbridge Pond (Key Wildlife Site) – Grade C
NC.16 – Barnwood Park – Grade D
NC.33 – Barnwood House Arboretum – Grade C
6.5 Water
A characteristic of the ward are the tributaries of the River Severn that flow from the
Cotswold escarpment towards the City and consequently pass east –west through
Barnwood ward.
The Horsbere Brook and its new flood alleviation works lie to the north of the ward and to the
north of the A417. The Wotton Brook flows from Hucclecote into the ward through
Barnwood Park, and provides the rear boundary to properties in Colin Road and Wells
Avenue. This watercourse has many mature trees along its length and provides a wildlife
corridor through the ward.
There are ponds fed by the Wotton Brook in Barnwood Park.
The River Twyver runs through Abbey ward before dividing and running through the ward in
a mix of concrete culverts or natural watercourses. One arm, of the Twyver feeds
Saintbridge balancing pond. The Twyver enters a culvert as it passes under Eastern
Avenue.
The Sudbrook also runs through Abbey and enters the ward to feed Saintbridge balancing
pond.
Some properties in the ward adjacent to watercourses experienced flooding in the July 2007
flood event.
Horsbere brook
The section of the Horsbere brook which runs through Barnwood is classified as a „Main
River‟ due to its flood risk status and as such and the Environment Agency is the responsible
Land Drainage Authority.
Wotton brook
The Wotton brook is classified as a „Main River‟ due to its flood risk status and as such the
Environment Agency is the responsible Land Drainage Authority. The City Council and
residents are land owners along stretches of the watercourse and have riparian
responsibilities to manage and maintain the watercourse.
River Twyver
The River Twyver is classified as a „Main River‟ due to its flood risk status and as such the
Environment Agency is the responsible Land Drainage Authority.
40
Sud brook
The Sud brook is classified as a „Main River‟ due to its flood risk status and as such the
Environment Agency is the responsible Land Drainage Authority.
Balancing Ponds
A Balancing Pond, an element of SuDS (Sustainable urban Drainage System) is designed to
attenuate flows by storing runoff during the peak flow and releasing it at a controlled rate
during and after the peak has passed to reduce the risk of flooding.
In open countryside, heavy rainfall soaks into the ground and is released relatively slowly
into watercourses (ditches, streams and rivers). In an urban environment, the extent of hard
surfaces (roofs, roads) means that the rainfall is deposited immediately into the drainage
system which could lead to widespread flooding. Balancing ponds contain the surge and
release it slowly. Without these ponds, especially in areas without separate storm and foul
sewers, could result in the pollution of watercourses in addition to internal sewer flooding
issues.
Gloucester has a number of both wet and dry balancing ponds. Wet ponds such as
Saintbridge 1 hold water all of the time. Dry ponds such as Saintbridge 2 fill up when the
watercourse and the surface water drainage system (i.e. road gulleys) are unable to take
excessive flows during heavy rain/storm conditions.
Balancing ponds are typically built during the construction of new land developments to help
manage the excess runoff generated by newly-constructed impervious surfaces such as
roads, parking areas and rooftops.
Frequently the inflow structure is constructed of materials such as concrete to protect
against erosion. These structures may also have trash screens to collect large items of
debris which are cleared on a regular basis but more often prior to predicted heavy rainfall
events.
41
Balancing Ponds have a number of other benefits including the creation of wildlife habitat
and a valuable amenity to the local community. Extensive works at Saintbridge since 2007
have also resulted in the winning of two prestigious awards see links below:
LGN Awards 2010: Category –Waterways,
http://www.localgov.co.uk/index.cfm?method=awards.copy&id=91158
CPRE Gloucestershire Awards 2010: http://cpreglos.org.uk/winners10.html
There are a number of balancing ponds in Barnwood including:
Saintbridge 1 Wet Balancing Pond – approximately 25,000 cubic metres capacity
42
Saintbridge 2 Dry Balancing Pond – Approximately 40,000 cubic metres capacity –
western embankment.
Northern end of the western bank of Saintbridge 2

Barnwood Park – Dry Balancing Pond - approximately 16,000 cubic metres capacity looking east from Church Lane
44
Flooding Issues
A number of properties in Barnwood (approximately 47) were affected by flooding in 2007
due to a number of factors including: surface water flooding and flooding from watercourses.
Since 2007 works have been carried out by the various agencies to reduce the risk of future
flooding including:
Desilting of Saintbridge 1 Balancing Pond and the clearance of silt traps located on
the River Twyver relief and Sud brook as they enter Saintbridge in addition to
improvements to the control structures including new trash screens
The Environment Agency (EA) has monitoring gauges on most watercourses in
Gloucester including the upstream side of the control structure at Saintbridge 1
Balancing Pond on the River Twyver relief channel.
The EA carry out inspections of Saintbridge Balancing Pond to assess silt levels.
Monthly inspections of pre-determined pinchpoints across the city (including
Saintbridge Balancing Ponds) are carried out by the City Council‟s contractors.
The EA carryout inspections and maintenance works on watercourses designated as
„Main Rivers‟ (due to the flood status) on a regular basis.
Funding to install individual properly level protection measures for a number of
properties in Barnwood has been approved. The scheme will be delivered to those
properties at highest risk of flooding by March 2014.
Modelling of all watercourses (classified as Main Rivers) by the EA has helped us
understand the 2007 event and identified measures that can be implemented to
reduce future flood risk.
Investigations are ongoing to make better use of the Balancing Pond at Barnwood
Park for flood storage purposes.
The trash screen at Barnwood Park is due to be replaced by the end of 2013. The
current screen traps smaller debris and is difficult to maintain (picture below).

6.6 Sustainability
Recycling facilities are available at Sainsbury‟s, Barnwood.

7.0 Previous issues raised through consultation
What our residents have previously said about this area
Recent consultation in the ward shows that residents would like to see more facilities for
families and children being provided. They also feel that Anti Social behaviour is, or is
perceived to be, an issue in parts of the ward, and “very little for the kids to do” is a common
phrase used by the local community. The other issues raised during community consultation
include:
