Draft Consultative Development Brief – Women’s Building – Site of the Former Holloway Women’s Prison

This consultation has ended

Start date 22 June 2020
End date 24 July 2020

The document seeks comment on and inputs into a draft development brief that has been primarily researched and produced by the Council. It’s objective is to ensure that a sufficiently large and well configured building, or part of a larger building, is designed to be able to deliver a broad range of important services and facilities for women in an innovative and creative manner. The brief is intended to help steer the Peabody led redevelopment plans that are currently being produced for the whole of the former Holloway Women’s Prison site, of which a Women’s Building will be an important part.
