Introduction BACKGROUND THE PUBLIC EXHIBITION

Transcription

1 Introduction Thank you for taking the time to come along and view our proposals for 333 Kingsland Road, which will provide a permanent home for Hackney New Primary School, alongside new housing and retail space. BACKGROUND Hackney New Primary School opened with its first intake in September 205 with a two form entry of 50 reception pupils. The school is temporarily based in Hackney New School s building on the other side of Downham Road. The Education Funding Agency (EFA) has bought the site of the former Kingsland Fire Station. This means proposals for a permanent home for the school, alongside new housing and retail space, can be brought forward. The residential and retail elements of the development by The Benyon Estate will help fund the construction of the school. This would not otherwise be possible due to high land prices in Hackney and the committment to deliver an outstanding new school. THE PUBLIC EXHIBITION Site location This exhibition provides the opportunity for the community to view our plans, which represent the culmination of many years of work by the school s Governing Body and its community, and The Benyon Estate. Please take your time to consider the information on these boards and fill in a feedback form. If you have any questions about our proposals, please ask one of the project team.

2 Site overview and context The former Kingsland Fire Station site, across the road from Hackney New School, sits on the junction of Kingsland Road and Downham Road. The site falls within the Kingsland Conservation Area, which was designated in 998. In addition, there are a number of designated heritage buildings around the site, including Quebec Wharf, 35 Kingsland Road and Kingsland Road. We have designed our proposals to be respectful of its surroundings, and to make a positive contribution to the area.

3 Proposals overview School & School Developing the Mass School. Taking a rational residential block 2. Dividing the block into a cluster of buildings Overlapping components Separated components School In developing the mass we have separated the residential and school buildings to allow us to maximise the available play space for the school, rather than placing residential units above the school. 3. Shifting the parts to break down the mass 4. Sculpting its perimeter, and crafting its projections and courtyard school axonometric The residential building provides a noise and pollution buffer to the school, while its higher profile allows us to keep the height of the school lower. 5. Adding together the building s components 6. Creating a cohesive form across the scheme Proposed Kingsland Road view looking north Proposed Enfield Road view looking east

4 New school building The proposals for the school include dedicated classrooms for pupils at all stages, with pupils moving higher up the school building as they progress. The classrooms centred around an internal courtyard, which means there are no corridors and moving from room to room will be via covered decking overlooking the courtyard. The school s emphasis on music as a key part of the curriculum is reflected in three music studios located on the ground and first floors of the school.

5 Play spaces The school buildings surround a cloistered courtyard creating outdoor playspace while also providing protection for pupils. Two additional roof spaces increase the play space available. These will include an allotment and a sensory garden including herbs, pathways and wildlife. Together they will provide pupils with different types of spaces to play, talk and learn with their classmates.

6 New residential and retail development The residential and retail development includes 68 residential units and 275m 2 of retail space. This development has been carefully designed to limit its impact on the school. OVERLOOKING The privacy and security of the school s pupils are of the utmost priority, and the proposals have been designed to ensure that overlooking is not an issue. There is only one balcony per floor on the western façade of the building, which are positioned to limit overlooking. MATERIALS The residential building will be predominantly brick and crosslaminated timber to signify civic importance, permanence, and place in the Kingsland conservation area. This will rise from a concrete base at basement, ground and first floor levels.

7 Local impact TRANSPORT AND PARKING There is no provision for parking for the new school or residential development. The location, just a few minutes walk from Haggerston Overground Station and from the 64, 76, 49, 242 and 243 buses, means that the development has excellent public transport links. CYCLE STORAGE Both the school and the residential development will include generous cycle storage. There will be 30 bike racks for the school located under the colonnade walkway along Downham Road The residential development will include underground cycle storage space for 44 bicycles, at just over 2 per apartment. WALKING TO SCHOOL The vast majority of our pupils live within mile of the school and we strongly encourage our parents, pupils and staff to walk or cycle to school. The first 73 applicants (out of 249) for our 206/7 intake live within mile of the school, demonstrating strong local demand. 39 Racks Required for Currently Showing 44 (double tiered).
