1.0 Introduc on
SMBC Building Design Group, have refined the ini al concept designs into a tangible proposal which aims to
address and fulfill the end‐users spa al educa onal requirements for the future intake of pupils from within the
local and wider community.
Working closely with the SAST (School Asset Support Team), the School and other Stakeholders, BDG have
developed the design proposal by ensuring the final school vision and projects outcomes are jus fied and
validated as part of the of the decision process to demonstrate that the scheme is both financially and prac cally
sustainable.
The aim of this report is to support the planning applica on it will also include coordinated informa on from
other disciplines who will have an input into the design both now and moving forward into Stage 4‐6. This report
will also serve as the Design Access Statement .
1.2.1 Proposal
The final layout is in compliance with the project objec ves as determined by the Client and the School as stated N O R T H
in the Stage 2 Report. The class rooms are currently arranged to follow a child's natural progression and
development through from Recep on KS1, and KS2 whilst offering flexibility and opportunity for the wider Figure 01. Exis ng Aerial site plan

1.3 COORDINATION WITH CONSULTANTS
The proposal will be developed with specialist input from the following consultants in order to deliver a
coordinated and robust design solu on:
Structural / Civils
Mechanical and Electrical Engineering
Ecology
Traffic Assessment
CDM
Quan ty Surveyor Cost
Acous cs
Each discipline will provide their design philosophy and ini al designs to be integrated within the building
envelope.
BDG will ins gate the use of BIM (Building Informa on Model) Level 2 to BS 1192 PART 2 as a key benchmark to
coordinate the informa on from the core design team members into a shared virtual model of the building .
This will be extensively used throughout the dura on of the project from now to comple on.
It will enable issues to be iden fied early in order to avoid costly mistakes as the project progresses and as and
when the contractor is appointed.
A Design Responsibility Matrix incorpora ng the outline exchange of Informa on is included within appendix B.
This will indicate the Design Responsibility, level of Detail and Level of Informa on expected from each consultant.
Each consultant will provide a BIM Execu on Plan (BEP) or how they propose to deliver the design informa on .
This will align to the Employer Informa on Requirements (EIR) document , which will set out the nature of the
deliverables in detail.
The purpose of developing the proposal using BIM , enables the building to be developed in sufficient detail to be
tested against the end users requirements. Issues can be iden fied and resolved early on without incurring costs
later on during the project. Finally it will also serve as a depository of how the building as an asset can be managed
over me par cularly when future maintenance regimes are implemented, or if FF&E requires replacing etc.

1.9 COORDINATION WITH CONSULTANTS
Ini al Concepts
The proposal has been developed following close consulta on with the client , School and other stakeholders to
understand the schools needs and how the proposal can address these, whilst addressing the issues raised by
teachers and parents alike.
The following sketch layouts highlight the evolu on of the proposal to its final itera on, which is in line with the
school’s aspira ons, ini al project development and outcomes to deliver high quality educa on in a bespoke
building extension.
This Final Project Brief defines the Client requirements and aims to comply with the end users goals to provide a
new inclusive 3FE school. This is as a result of the growing number of pupils a ending the school and its
reputa on within the wider community. The proposal has been through various sketch design permuta ons to
test and demonstrate how the school can achieve its projected outcomes in line with the School vision as stated
in the Stage 1 report.
The sketch op ons where developed further into detailed plans, to accurately assess the required floor areas and
inform the cost analysis. This enabled the op ons to be costed with a degree of certainty whilst also showing what
has been allowed for and what has been excluded.

1.9.5 Preferred Design Op on : Design and Access Statement
The following sec ons will provide the basis for the Design and Access Statement. It will be used as
supplementary informa on to support the drawing informa on to be submi ed for planning.
The following describes the design philosophy and the reasoning to change the exis ng Junior School site into a
fully 3FE primary school.
Pre‐planning advice was undertaken on the 18th September 2018 with the local planning officer. Advice given at
the me was for further inves ga on to be carried out as part of a Traffic Assessment. The results of which will
also be submi ed as part of the planning submission. In general terms the sketch proposals presented to the
planning officer was acceptable in principle . The scale , mass and volume of the proposal where sympathe c to
the exis ng school.
A public consulta on event was also undertaken on the 17th October 2018, where the proposals where shown
to parents and the wider community. The event was well a ended with ques onnaires provided for feedback
on the proposals.
BDG have also consulted Sports England for their feedback on the proposal and its impact on the external play
areas. Their feedback has been included with proposals for the external so play area t o address their
concerns.

4.0 Scale & Massing
4.1 The school site is located within the predominantly residen al ward of Elmdon. The proper es surrounding the school are mostly 2 storeys in height, the majority of the school massing itself is single storey with some elements such as
the; plant tower , the main hall and dining hall and the newer school addi ons to the east side of the school elevated higher to signify their func on.
The proposal aims to maintain a single storey low profile aspect in keeping with the exis ng scale of the school. The proposed addi ons to school will consist of both flat and mono‐pitched roof profiles at the connec ons between the exis ng
and the proposed. The proposed massing takes advantage of the exis ng layout of the school, for example incorpora ng new classrooms within the exis ng recesses of the building layout. An outdoor covered linked walkway also provides a
level of permeability for both pupil and staff movement around the school and views across external spaces.
In terms of the physical scale, the proposal integrates well within its urban se ng and maintains a scale which will not be too over bearing for the children a ending the school.

matrix provides early clarity regarding design responsibili es,
which achieves a number of goals:
It ensures that each designer is clear about their design
responsibili es and the level of detail to be achieved
for each aspect they are designing, enabling their
drawings and specifica ons to be prepared
accordingly.
It allows fees to be properly appor oned and
