King’s and West Blatchington
Overview
Acting on behalf of Kier Construction and working alongside HKS Architecture, ECE Planning secured planning permission at West Blatchington Primary & Nursery School, Hangleton Way, Hove.
The scheme included the demolition of existing school buildings and the erection of a replacement primary school and nursery school (2 form entry) together with the erection of a secondary school (5 form entry) plus 6th form, including re-provision of sports pitches, provision of new access and parking and associated landscaping.
The proposal represents an exciting opportunity in the heart of the community to meet current local education requirements as well as offering community benefits in the form of public access to the sports facilities.
The design approach responds to the elevated position of the site and the adjacent protected landscape of the South Downs National Park.
ECE Planning worked alongside Kier Construction and HKS Architecture throughout the evolution of the development, including extensive pre-application discussions with Brighton & Hove City Council.
