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.

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.
