1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE WORKS

1.0 THE PROJECT WORKS

1.0.1 The site is located within the London Borough of Redbridge(“LBR”) which is an outer
London Borough situated in the north-east of the capital, bordering the London
Boroughs of Waltham Forest, Havering, Newham, Barking and Dagenham and Essex.
Known as the "leafy" suburb, LBR enjoys one of the best living environments in London.
The Borough stretches from Ilford and Seven Kings in the south, through Newbury Park
and Barkingside, to Woodford Green, Woodford Bridge and Hainault in the north. LBR
has a thriving, vibrant multi-cultural community.

Seven Kings High School is a mixed 6 FE comprehensive with a total population in

excess of 1400 pupils of which about 480 are sixth formers. The school is designated
within the Borough of Redbridge as being suitable for disabled students due to its siting
on relatively level ground and its SEN (Special Education Needs) department.

The school is located centrally in the Borough close to Ilford town, within a
residential neighbourhood. Mixed residential and industrial premises form its western
boundary onto Ley Street. All edges are enclosed by the rears gardens and flanks of
terraced houses. Its only street presence is the 1930’s main entrance gates on Ley
Street. The school buildings are centrally grouped on the site, with playing fields to the
north and south.

There are two points of shared access for vehicles and pedestrians to the school. The
main entrance is from Ley Street, the secondary entrance is via a gap in the terraces
from Charter Avenue. The school internal road runs the length of the site from Ley Street
to Charter Avenue- west to east. There is a further access route to the south field from
Benton Road.

1.0.2 The Contract for these works comprises; to provide the school with three new Business
Unit classrooms and a Sixth form Study area to enable it to accommodate the expanded
new pupil intake. The proposal has been designed as a stand-alone building next to
existing two Business Unit blocks in very close proximity to the existing main school
building. An original single storey traditionally built smaller Business Unit block will have
to be demolished first as part of the contract and the proposal is a much larger two
storey block on the site.

1.0.3 The works shall be completed as one construction project.

The proposal ensures that the layout, form, density, scale, mass, materiality, and design
of the proposal and its surrounds will contribute positively to the local environment and
neighbouring buildings (in line with Core Strategy Policies). The design also aims to
provide both detailed and large scale visual interest appropriate to the area (in line with
LBR Borough Wide Policies). These principles were a major focus throughout the
design process.
