A prison could erect more cells at HM Prison Grendon.
The Ministry of Justice is seeking to add 41 singular prison cells at HMP Springhill, which itself includes the grade II listed Grendon Hall.
The new provision is split into three two-storey blocks. It also proposes ancillary facilities, such as storage, self-cook/food prep, and a communal dining and living space.
The Algeco modular units are 6215mm x 2625mm each in plan and 3000mm tall, though these units will be ‘double stacked’ to make a 6000mm tall overall structure.
If approved, the project will be delivered by developer Wates.
The nature of the site means that there is no need for any additional parking facility to be associated with the project.
The planning statement states there is a loss of an existing prison accommodation block at the site and there is a significant increase nationally in demand for prison places, meaning a replacement facility is ‘pressing’.
