The Design Process
Full planning approval for the scheme was granted in August 2008, this was for the development of a new Keir Hardie Primary School, 649 residential dwellings, car parking and landscaping.
The development of this permission followed extensive community consultation, in the form of exhibitions in 2006 where more than 120 people attended. In 2007, where community stakeholder groups were set up, and in 2008 where a public drop in event was held.
Following the original approval, the design was refined through a series of further applications to discharge conditions and for minor amendments. Perhaps the most significant of these was made in 2014 which was to incorporate essential changes to the design of the landmark Atrium Building, including a significant changes to the design of the glazed atrium itself.
