Town Centre Supplementary Planning Document". In November 2018, the MoD put the site up for sale, emphasizing its 'full deep-water access to Portsmouth Harbour, making it ideally suitable for commercial marine activity'. The following year the site was purchased by the South Shields-based UK Docks, with a view to redeveloping it as 'a unique specialist marine hub'. Notable Buildings Royal Clarence Yard was designated a Conservation Area by Gosport Borough Council in 1990. The site is significant due to its place in British industrial history as "one of the first large industrial food processing plants in the country" and for the quality and style of the buildings, several of which have Listed Building status. Main Gate and Two Lodges The ceremonial entrance to Royal Clarence Yard, designed by George Taylor and built in 1830–31, the Main Gate and flanking Lodges are built of brick, stuccoed on the interior front, in the late Georgian style. The gate and Lodges have Grade II* Listed Building status. The Arch is topped by a double-sided painted Coad Stone Royal Crest. Superintendent's and Deputy Superintendent's Houses; Police House, Flagstaff Green Adjacent to the Main Gate sit the Superintendent's and Deputy Superintendent's Houses which were designed and built in stuccoed brick by George Taylor in 1830–31 to house the Victualling Yard senior officers. Both buildings have Grade II Listed Building status. The Police House (Residence 6) is a Grade II Listed Building designed and built by George Taylor at the same time as the Main Gate, the Lodges and the other officer's residences surrounding Flagstaff Green. Built of stuccoed brick in the late Georgian style, this building was formerly used as the residence of the Yard's Inspector of Police. The Granary and Bakery; Flour Mill and Stores; Boiler and Engine House The Granary and Bakery, Flour Mill, Stores (1828–30) and the Boiler and Engine Houses (1862-3) are all late Georgian style, red-brick buildings with Grade II* Listed Building status. The Bakery on the ground floor, which retains the original large bread ovens, has been converted into a restaurant. The Slaughterhouse The Slaughterhouse is an Italianate style, red-brick building with Grade II Listed Building status. It was built in 1854 following a decision to move the slaughtering facility from its former location close to the mooring for the Royal Yacht due to many complaints from the Royal Household about 'offensive effluvia' from the old slaughterhouse.
