§ Mr. SpellarRAF Quedgeley consists of several sites. The Main Site, is currently being advertised for sale inviting expressions of interest for the freehold on a Joint Venture basis. Gloucester City Council have identified the Main Site as being potentially suitable for redevelopment and are preparing a Planning Brief for the site and surrounding area. The brief will identify the opportunities and constraints for redevelopment.
