EDUCATION
Planning granted for school by Pellings in Dover with “unique” mix of mainstream and SEN provision
Kent County Council has granted detailed planning consent for a “satellite school” expansion to Whitfield Aspen School in Dover – which project architect Pellings described as a “unique” primary school with a large specialist provision for pupils with SEN (special educational needs). Pellings developed the design for
the new school. Neil Werner, partner and head of architecture at the multidisciplinary practice, commented: “The school’s ethos is to provide an inclusive school where mainstream pupils and pupils with varying special educational needs share the learning environment and school activities. The school is rare in its approach to combining mainstream and SEN pupils in a way where boundaries are blurred, and children mix in both learning and play activities.” The consented new school building
comprises two floors of accommodation arranged to create three sides to an
enclosed external courtyard. Two classroom blocks containing mainstream and SEN provision bookend a central block which provides shared and specialist space and the school’s administration hub. The public face of the school building
has been “articulated via a play with planes and materials and the presentation of a large element of double-height glazing,” said the architects. The central courtyard offers a sheltered
informal area for play and learning accessed from mainstream and SEN classrooms. Beyond these shared spaces lies the playing field, which is accessible to all. The school will be built in two phases;
the first of which will provide the central block and one classroom wing including SEN and mainstream provision; the second will provide the remaining class- room wing. The design of the school has used the
topography of the site to provide changes of level within the building to articulate the design and also to encourage development of children’s mobility skills. A parents’ drop off zone has been
created within the site boundary for safety and to avoid congestion on the access road, which will serve a residential development. Vehicle management has been designed
to enable mini-bus and taxi drop-off for pupils below a continuous canopy leading directly to the main entrance.
Green light for Lincoln destination HOTEL
Plans for a six-storey hotel and luxury restaurant in Lincoln city centre have been approved following a meeting of the City Council’s planning committee which took place in May. Designed by Lincoln-based architects LK2, plans for the 5,371 ft2
site include
a 63 bedroom hotel and a top floor independent restaurant, offering fine dining and stunning views of the city. In order for work to start on site, the
current building will be demolished to make room for the new build, which has a contemporary Art Deco design. Adam Skidmore, architectural designer
at LK2 said: “We’re delighted to be working on this scheme. As a Lincoln-based firm, we’re proud to be part of the transformation of the city, boosting the tourist economy and bringing in more visitors. “This new development will revitalise this
area and improve the streetscape with a fresher, more contemporary appearance, while providing visitors to Lincoln with
quality hotel accommodation and a unique dining experience that can’t be found anywhere else in Lincoln. “We have worked closely with Lincoln
City Council to ensure the building design reflects the character of the surrounding area, while offering a modern contribution to the city.”
