QUESTION
Will the development of the site be looked at as a
whole or has it been looked at just to re-house the
nursery?
RESPONSE
Looked at primarily for creating nursery accommodation. New
nursery seemed a good use of the site. Other parts of the site will
be available for other uses but no detail on this

Would the children be moved to another building
during the move?
No decant required. Move is usually carried out over weekend,
holiday period. Education Services can apply for exceptional
closure. This can be for 3 days but a recent move only required a
one day closure.

Will there be car parking for parents as traffic may
impact on residents.
Inverclyde Council Policy doesn’t encourage parents to use car
parks for children’s safety. Staff car parking and disabled parking
will be part of the design. Wide streets around site ad start / finish
times are staggered so this should help ease the situation.
Rigorous design development will look at traffic issues and involve
road and road safety tear.

Is there a possibility that in front of new nursery will
be a building site in the future?
School Estates are well experiences in dealing with these types of
situations and would ensure safety at all times. It will be Inverclyde
Council’s planning departments decision on what the land would be
used for it is likely that new buildings would be a staged effect and
would not impact on nursery views etc.
Construction work happening in other establishments Local
Authority ensure that trucks / constructions do not impact on
services. No plans known for other development on area.
There can be a level of noise but there are actions that can

Work closely with planners. Confident could have a building in

Positive impact on school
Agreed that this is a benefit of the new building. St Mary’s School
will benefit from additional accommodation and it would positively
impact on the refurbishment plans.
