Option 6 - Neilston Primary School site
Strengths
• Allows existing Neilston Primary School and Madras Family Centre to remain in operation through the construction process.
• Avoids costly decant accommodation and related disruption to St Thomas’ Primary School.
• Avoids costly and disruptive double decant for Neilston Primary School.
• Creates cohesive, multi-use community campus in the heart of the village.
• Community facilities are located close to the entrance for public profile and ease of access. The school and family centre are therefore afforded greater privacy and security.

Weaknesses
• Requires more prolonged, phased construction programme than would be the case in a full decant. • Noise and disruption for Neilston Primary School during construction phases - needs very careful management.
• Visual impact of new school building on neighbouring residential properties to northern boundary.
• Although there is some increase in car parking and improvements in traffic management, demand has increased with the addition of sports facility.
• Sports pitches provision is limited.

Opportunities
• Kirkstyle Lane/Pig Square proximity offers opportunity for additional parking.
• Existing Library site redevelopment opportunity.
• Church Hall given new use.

Threats
• Planning Planning Approvals.
• Utilities infrastructure location unknown.
• Church halls cannot be relocated to suitable alternative.
• Church hall unsuitable for conversion to library.
• More complex to accommodate multiple user groups within one large building.

Parking
Option 2-5 above identify a parking provision of 69 spaces on the Neilston Primary School site.

A traffic impact assessment would be undertaken, however it is anticipated that additional parking would be required.

A study has been carried out to ascertain the potential for additional parking on Pig Square, Kirkstyle Lane.

The car park would be accessed off High Street and would provide in the region of 70 spaces, inlcuding 6 accessible parking spaces.

This option would result in a total of around 140 spaces.

Parking - Option 6
Option 6 provides 80 car parking spaces on the Neilston Primary School site.

Adding the 70 spaces provided at Pig Square would result in a total of around 150 spaces.

Schedule of Accommodation

The proposals illustrated in this report have been based on the areas identified in the table opposite.

The St Clare’s PS (2 stream primary) and Calderwood Lodge PS (1 stream primary) and Nursery at Faith Schools’ Joint Campus in Newton Mearns, have been used merely as comparator with regard to footprint and overall area.

There is a significant slope in the Neilston site and it is envisaged a step in the ground floor plane will be required to accommodate this.

The ultimate design would creatively take account of the slope.

A new library facility is proposed in options 3, 5 and 6 with the possible conversion of the existing Neilston Parish Church hall into a public access library.

Options 4, 5 and 6 use the footprint of Lasswade High School (Mid Lothian) swimming pool facility to test the initial feasibility of siting a pool within the development.

Primary Schools
The proposal consists of a two stream non-denominational primary with
444 pupils and single stream denominational school with 222 pupils.
5635m2
(based on JFSC model)

Family Centre
An early years family centre facility.
370m2
(based on JFSC model)

Library
Required area to be confirmed.
Proposed area shown is approximately 265m2.
Note the area of the existing facility is approximately 285m2.
TBC

Sports Facility
Required area to be confirmed.
Proposal shown includes a 4 court games hall, 25 metre 6 lane swimming pool and associated wet and dry changing areas.
Any additional facilities to be confirmed.
Proposed area shown is approximately 1550m2.
Note the area of the existing facility is approximately 1220m2, however this does not include a games hall.

Primary School External Space
The external space on the site has been assessed against BB103 guidance.
The adjacent tables illustrated the maximum and minimum requirements.

In the proposals illustrated in this report, the combined Hard and Soft Informal Social spaces, Hard Outdoor PE and Habitat space are well above the minimum guidance.
The Hard Outdoor PE provision currently sits below the minimum BB103 guidance but aligns with the
provision at Faith Schools’ Joint Campus, which was approved and with the whole campus on-site provision provides good overall facilities.
The distribution of these elements will be reviewed as the feasibility proposals progress.
Sports Scotland guidance on sports pitches (soft outdoor)takes precedence over BB103 as it is based on curriculum use and requirements. Further discussion on the sports provision for this site is required with Sport Scotland as local area provision will be taken into consideration.
