SECTION TITLE 4 PLANNING DOCUMENT – DESIGN AND ACCESS STATEMENT - HARTFORD CE HIGH SCHOOL

1.0 INTRODUCTION

This Design and Access Statement has been prepared by Sheppard Robson on behalf of Wates Construction. Additional input has been provided by Ares Landscape Architects. It accompanies and supports the planning application for Hartford CE High School. The statement explains how the proposed development is a suitable response to the site and its setting, and demonstrates that it can be adequately accessed by prospective users.

This document accompanies the planning application for Hartford CE High School, Chester Road, Hartford, Northwich, CW8 1LH for the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA). It is intended to supplement the information required by Cheshire West and Chester Council by summarising the functional requirements of the brief, together with the architect’s interpretation of the site context and the response to it.

Section 42 of 2004 Town and Country Planning Act substituted the Section 62 of the 1990 Act so as to Northwich provide a statement covering design concepts, principle and access issues submitted with an application for planning permission. It states that one statement should cover both design and access, allowing applicants to demonstrate an integrated design approach that would deliver exclusive design and address a full range of access requirements throughout the design process.

2.0 DEVELOPMENT BRIEF

Hartford CE High School is an existing school in Northwich, Liverpool, of around 1,050 pupils capacity for years 7 to 11. Hartford CE High School is a mixed gender 11-16 comprehensive school that specialises in languages and sports.

Hartford CE High School ethos is based on the teachings of the Church of England. Collective worship, though not mandatory, is also based on the practice of the Church of England.

The school is currently undersubscribed with 902 students on roll. The school expects the pupil numbers to further increase due to a number of extensive new housing developments currently being constructed in the local area. D A The scheme is a Partial School Project, with the new build element replacing a existing block on site that E have been identified for subsequent demolition. The block to be replaced is block D. The new block will house B catering facilities, LRC and a sports hall, as well as a variety of teaching facilities.

The school will remain in occupation of all blocks during the construction of the new build element; following C completion, the existing block that has been identified for replacement, will be demolished and works will be undertaken to make good the affected external areas. The other blocks on site will continue to provide an education environment.

The proposal will locate the new build element closer to the retained block A, B and C. This creates a better link between the retained buildings and to provide a coherent and efficiently organised composition and enhanced wayfinding. Locating the new school building closer to the existing accommodation will positively contribute to the school ethos and give the school an opportunity to enhance provision and raise standards still further.

2.1 Project’s Origin

The scheme has been procured via the Education & Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) Contractors Framework, with Hartford CE High School selected as the sample scheme for the batch, as part of the second wave of the Priority Schools Building Programme (PSBP2). Wates Construction are the main contractor with all consultants employed by Wates Construction.

2.2 Client/ Project Aspirations Hartford CE High School Aerial View As the majority of the school accommodation is dispersed from each other with buildings being located at different extremes of the site the new build will enable the majority of the buildings to be located closer Retained Buildings together and give the school a campus feel, this will also provide a safe and secure learning environment to support staff and students in maintaining high levels of performance.

3.0 SITE ANALYSIS AND CONTEXT APPRAISAL

3.1 Site and Immediate Surroundings

The total site area is 11.6 Hectares, the teaching accommodation occupies circa 25% of the site, and which comprises of five buildings, 3nr form the ‘West Campus’ and the remaining 2nr form the ‘East Campus’. There is no change to existing site boundary for the development.

The context surrounding the site consists of a number of educational facilities, the closest being Mid-Cheshire College (located directly North of the site), Hartford Manor Community Primary, Cloughwood Academy, St. Wilfred’s Catholic Primary School and St. Nicholas Catholic Primary School – all of which make use of Hartford High School’s extensive sports facilities. Beyond this the area is occupied by a high proportion of residential properties. The River Weaver runs in close proximity to the East boundary of the site and local wildlife sites Weaver Valley, Newbridge Pool and Greenbank Wood are generally located adjacent to the East and South boundaries.

3.2 Site Levels

The site for the replacement block is almost entirely level with a level change on average of 100mm. This has allowed a clear strategy for pedestrian movement and minimal restriction in terms of accessibility. The open and level nature of the site also allows views to the Peaks hand Jodrell Bank from upper storeys.

3.3 Trees

An Ecological Appraisal has been carried out for all flora and fauna on site. This has also listed tree species present on site. A high number of Beech, Red Oak and Wild Cherry trees are present on site, contributing a major role in the mature landscape setting. A band of trees to the South-West separates the new building from the boundary fence.

3.4 Site Constraints

The site for the proposed new block is adjacent an area of residential housing to the south along Carriage Drive. School Secure Line The school has an extensive provision of sports facilities that occupies an estimated 75% of the school site. Located between the existing East and West campus is a 3G all-weather sports pitch, hard standing tennis and an inflatable rigid dome covering tennis courts.

To the west of the site a ‘bund’ of existing trees along boundary offers a visual and acoustic separation between. In a addition there is a pedestrian only access to the site from Carriage Drive (to the south west) which bisects the school campus that is used by external parents and pupils of Hartford Manor Primary School. This entrance is managed by the school and is open for an hour before and after school. The main entrance to the school is proposed to remain within the existing West campus large block.

3.5 Site Opportunities

Locating the new building on the west campus, improves the existing ‘split school site’ conditions which currently impact travel time between classes for students and staff. As well as improving time-table efficiency, the proposed single site will also enhance ease of supervision and offer an overall school site more able to adapt to future curriculum changes through improved flexibility of potential departmental locations across both large teaching blocks. The new building will also contain facilities such as LRC and dining.

The new building will have a 3rd party entrance for sports and the block proposes to provide a 4-court sports which provide a better connection to the adjacent to the existing outdoor sport amenities and significantly Looking North at the existing West campus. improving the school’s existing indoor sports provisions.

The chosen position of the new teaching block, established site lines and movement routes are retained, whilst 3.7 Site History and Existing Buildings enhancing the existing character of the school site. The two existing large school blocks are currently 400 metres apart, which is due to the school originally being 3.6 Movement Patterns a separate boys’ and girls’ school that became co-educational in 1978. As the New Build will co-exist alongside the retained block, the design needs to reflect this by being long lasting and maintainable. There are 4 main access points to Hartford High School. Three feed off Carriage Drive (to the North); and provide both vehicular and pedestrian access to the School. To the South-West there is a pedestrian access None of the buildings on site are listed and the site does not sit within a conservation area. There are no known point, however this is not currently used by the school. TPOs or environmental designations on site and the site is not within a flood risk zone.

The existing nature of the site layout is based on a split campus with students walking between the ‘West’ The west campus consists of a storey large teaching block (A) and 2 small adjacent single storey buildings and the East’ campuses. The new block will consolidate the movement patterns to the West campus with the (B & C), which house the art and music departments. The East campus consists of a 3 storey large teaching exception the ROSLA block which will still be used for lessons. blocks and one small adjacent two storey building, which houses part of the science department, as well as a number of administrative functions for the school.

Coherant Arrangement in Context Efficient Internal Grouping 10 PLANNING DOCUMENT – DESIGN AND ACCESS STATEMENT - HARTFORD CE HIGH SCHOOL

4.2 Site Plan and Layout

The existing site landscape is characterised by extensive playing fields and open grass areas, that adjoin the playing field of nearby schools to the east of the site. In many places the playing field are bounded by belts of mature trees.There is excellent external sports provision on the site including a full size flood lit synthetic grass pitch.

The remainder of the site comprises games courts, hardstanding, predominantly macadam, and grass areas for external student social space. A BB103 analysis has been completed and the external spaces of the site exceed the recommended minimum areas for each type of external space. There is also a reflection garden near the sites northern boundary, which comprises a memorial tree, benches, planting and a network of bark mulch paths.

The open aspect to the site toward the east affords distant views toward Vale of Weaver.

There are a variety of buildings on site which are split between an eastern cluster and a western cluster, each has an area of carparking associated with it and both clusters are accessed via an un adopted road that is shared with Mid Cheshire College. There is further pedestrian access via another un adopted road to the north of the site adjacent to existing bus bays. Pedestrian access is also possible via Carriage drive on the site’s western boundary.

As part of the site development, all but one of the existing buildings in the eastern cluster will be demolished and a new block provided within the vicinity of the retained buildings of the western cluster.

Through close consultation with the school and EFSA the design for the new proposal has been carefully considered to take cognisance from the adjacent geometries on the site. The building is situated to avoid the need for extensive areas of new hard standing and the main pedestrian entrances face the retained buildings.

The design creates a clear identity for the building, but sits comfortably within the existing wider established campus. It will benefit from direct lines of sight from the approach paths from retained buildings and have the strongest relationship to external sports facilities.

The linear block design, with articulated sports hall has resulted in a Masterplan that is grounded on a thorough understanding of the site constraints and opportunities, in particular:

- Works with existing external sports,

- Is situated to activate existing retained hard play areas Proposed Site Plan - Maintains open views to the east from existing classrooms

- Allows a very good, direct connection between internal spaces and the external spaces,

- The need to minimise impact on the movement flows of a working school site.

We have therefore located the building, external routes, access points on the site in such a way that the school will be able to operate in a practical and straightforward manner in conjunction with their current operating procedures, but also balance their operational needs with those of security and inclusion.

Existing pedestrian flows and vehicular access throughout the school has been carefully considered. Pedestrian access to the building will utilise existing routes. The school grounds and external landscaping have been PLANNING DOCUMENT – DESIGN AND ACCESS STATEMENT - HARTFORD CE HIGH SCHOOL 11

planned to provide secure and safe external areas and to maximise the available outdoor space within the parameters of the project scope.

The reflection garden will be relocated to the south of the new build placing it in the heart of the site and with a better relationship the soft informal and hard informal social spaces.

All existing trees will be retained and where required protected during the construction process. The existing mature trees on the boundary with Carriage drive will help screen views of the new building from the adjacent residential properties.

4.3 Sports Fields

Through pre application discussion with Sport England it has been established that the location of the proposed new build is on an area of existing playing field.

We are aware that Sport England will oppose the granting of planning permission for any development which will lead to the loss of, or would predjucie the use of: all or any part of a playing field, land which has been used as a playing field and remains undeveloped or, land allocated for use as playing field. Unless in the judgement of Sport England the development as a whole meets with one or more of five specific exemptions.

During our discusssion with Sport England we have identified that the development will be able to meet Sport England Policy expection E4 by providing a playing field area of equivalent size and quantity to that lost. Key: Playing field loss 1,980 m2 The diagram opposite shows the location of proposed replacement sports field on the location of the demolished buildings on the eastern part of the site. Playing field gain 1,980 m2

Elsewhere on site all existing external sports facilities will remain as exisiting

4.4 Movement Routes – Pedestrian and Vehicular

Existing pedestrian and vehicle entrances are retained. Delivery Access to the new building is via ther western carpark adjacent the retained building and porting to new building. Fire Access to front of new build is via existing gates and existing hard standing Playing Field Net loss / gain diagram Out of hours community parking and staff parking at the start and end of the school day will utilise the retained eastern carpark.

4.5 Materials

All the new hard surfacing will Macadam to provide a cost effective and robust finish that will meet the intensive uses associated with a secondary school and tie in to the existing surfaces

4.6 Planting

A robust palette of plant species that are safe for school environments will be used, ensuring a variety of forms, colour and seasonal interest is provided throughout the planting beds.

4.7 Street furniture

Seating and benches will be existing school property repositioned to respond to the new site layout. 12 PLANNING DOCUMENT – DESIGN AND ACCESS STATEMENT - HARTFORD CE HIGH SCHOOL

4.8 Scale and Massing

New build location achieves the maximum possible relationship with retained blocks within constraints of the site. New build forms a new teaching block to support the main school building.

Sited the south-east of the existing blocks and has no impact on the surrounding buildings. The three-storey height of the new build element responds to the existing scale and massing of the school. The new build element is set well away from the existing block to be demolished.

Although the new building is parallel to Carriage Drive, the building is set back and shielded by the trees to minimise the impact on the neighbouring properties.

The position and appearance of the new block presents a welcoming appearance with clear direction to the main school and sports entrances. It also relates to public and private parts of the school’s site Secondary Entrance

4.9 Routes and Spaces

New Block The main entrance of the new block is easy to locate from arrival point of grounds. The layout provides 2no Main Entrance entrances to the new block. The main entrance is logically located to the left and is accessed directly from the main school site. The secondary / community entrance to the right responds to the existing Rosla building and 3G pitch.

The new build connects directly with a variety of external recreation. Existing hard recreation to the north of the building. Directly linked with the dining space and eastern recreation directly off secondary entrance.

The proposed layout is bookended by the large spaces (Dining, Drama and LRC to the west and sports hall to the east.) arranged in a single block. Teaching and support spaces arranged central to the plan

School The main entrance is directly open into dining, which is light filled, two storey volume, with views out into the Main Entrance grounds, and up to the LRC. The LRC is located above the dining space, this provides a direct link with the main school site.

The secondary entrance is supervised by a staff office – long distance views of approaching visitors. Fully secure ‘air lock’, provided to the secondary entrance easily accessible outer door. Proposed Site Massing (red: new block and blue: existing blocks

Brickwork has been chosen as the primary external material for its robustness but also in response type and quality of the materials considered and also to set out our initial thoughts on how these maybe used to the existing material language on site and within the surrounding context. The use of timeless well detailed to provide a strong and appropriate external facade design for the school. traditional materials supports the school identity and ethos, with brick selected based on whole life costs as well as capital costs, with a life expectancy in excess of 60 years. The brick chosen for its texture and colour will All proposals shown are initial approaches and are being developed in discussions with the school and other be carefully detailed to provide visual interest and quality whilst ensuring staining is avoided. stakeholders.

We are currently exploring detailed facade design options with the school and other stakeholders. The images Through presenting and discussing our proposals at the school engagement meetings we have developed an shown within the report are considered as a starting point for a discussion, but we are confident it is a strong approach to the external appearance of the new build which is sensitive to the context - existing buildings starting point, and that we have allowed scope within our costed proposals for the design to be refined as of different quality and age. We have been able to develop an elevational approach which is robust, civic in discussions develop. quality, and also capable of expression and excitement.

Use of only four window modules creates a calm rhythm across the elevations, with full brick reveals providing depth to the facade. Large glazed areas of curtain walling are used to signify the entrances, which provide great views in and out of the building. To highlight the hierarchy of entrances, the main entrance has double height curtain wall glazing and the 3rd party entrance has single storey glazing. The new block is intended to be robust, simple and functional without being extravagant.

Approach to the school’s main entrance

The images on this page illustrate how our proposed brick facade provides a strong and robust appearance to the building.

There is potential to emphasise key aspects, such as the primary and secondary entrances through the use of curtain walling and large ‘punched’ windows to add depth to the facade.

The design illustrates our proposal at this stage, which can be developed further with the school and other stakeholders.
