Central Somers Town CIP Regeneration Scheme: 1) Redevelopment of Edith Neville Primary School with associated landscaping along with works to immediate public realm and provision of access arrangements. 2) Development of new community hub to include new spaces for St. Aloysius Nursery, Plot 10 community play and 10 new affordable family housing units together with improvements to immediate public realm and provision of access arrangements. The redevelopment of Edith Neville Primary school is a central strand in the Central Somers Town masterplan proposals. The School itself has been subject to numerous remedial works (both planned and unplanned) and is now in critical need of redevelopment in order to ensure it meets the education requirements of a modern school. The project team have been working closely with the appointed school architects — Hayhurst and Co. The school has been specifically designed to be flexible enough for a future expansion to a 2 form entry should there be significant demand for additional places at a later time. St Aloysius Nursery is located in a temporary building on part of Regent High School's outside games area. Regent High will soon require the use of this land and therefore the Nursery needs a new, permanent home. In addition, the new community hub building will also house new play facilities for Plot 10 — an existing community play facility on Polygon Road open space. The integration of these facilities under one building will allow for a much more efficient use of space with complementary uses that will act as focal point for the local Somers Town Community. Additionally, the relocation of Plot 10 from the open space will free up this area for valuable outdoor space for the wider community.In additional to the community spaces, there will also be 10 affordable family units on top of the community hub building. These will be offered to local families in line with the agreed local lettings policy.
