The building's cell wings, chapel and infirmary will be re-modelled for residential use, with new-build, low-rise apartment blocks located to the edges of the site. The former prison's listed walls will be retained and its gatehouse redeveloped, incorporating a café.

The landscape vision for the scheme by Grant Associates' involves a design concept which will consider the landscape as primarily shared space.

The design team will commence the post-planning stage for the scheme, which is owned by developer City & Country.
