Mitigation Measures > Conservation Management Plan
 
A Conservation Management Plan (CMP) was completed by Purcell Miller Tritton LLP in June 2008.
The CMP provided the basis for understanding the history and significance of the Site, as well as drawing up policies which formed a framework for the conservation and restoration of the existing buildings.
The CMP is regarding as a viable working and should be updated where necessary.

The CMP was prepared before the EIA process and further research wad conducted to fill in information gap. Changes for the CMP is therefore required and summarised as follow:

Changes of the CMP
The buildings within the Site were originally given a designation of Type A and Type B. As of 2009 these designations have been removed.  The only statutory designations at the Site now are the three Declared Monuments.
Further research about all buildings within the Site has been carried out in order to complete the baseline studies for the EIA.  This is especially true of the Headquarters Block (building 01), Barracks Block (building 03), Magistracy (building 09) and D Hall (building 14), for which draft CMPs have also been written. All new research has been incorporated into the Baseline Studies for these buildings, and for any discrepancies in information, the baseline studies should take precedence over the CMP.
The Married Sergeants’ Quarters (building 06) and Single Inspectors Quarters (building 07) were constructed c.1904 – 1908, not 1903.
The construction for the Superintendent’s House has been more specifically dated to the 1860s, rather than the less defined timescale of pre-1895.
The CMP refers to the area at the north end of the prison as being of unknown date, with some confusion over the Ablutions Block (building 08), A Hall (building 11), and C Hall (building 12).  There has been some clarification of this, including that the Ablutions Block was constructed in the early 1930s, A Hall was the Reception Block built 1927 – 29 (and for which there are Public Works reports), and C Hall was constructed likely around the same time, c.1928 – 9.
The Armoury and Store (building 02, also known as the Stables) was built 1924 – 6, rather than being completed in 1925.
