The Design Process
The design for Holy Trinity continuously evolved as public funding diminished and the proportion of housing increased to cross-subsidise the new school. What started as a school expansion masterplan became a bold, mid-rise, mixed-use development, with negotiation and iterative design adjustments lasting some 4 years before receiving LB Hackney officer recommendation for approval. Despite recommendation, in 2013 the scheme was rejected by councillors. The application was called in by The Mayor of London where, in November 2013, consent was granted.
