Developer withdraws its appeal against new post primary school
By Aideen O'Flaherty
A DEVELOPER has withdrawn their appeal against South Dublin County Council’s decision to grant permission for the construction of two schools on Fortunestown Lane in Saggart.
The local authority gave the green light for the development of a new educational campus of two new school buildings, to be delivered on a phased basis, last October.
Plans for a 1,000 pupil post-primary school will go ahead at this site in Citywest
Permission was granted for the demolition of the four existing four-storey educational/former short stay residential blocks (golf apartments) on the site, to make way for the provision of one part three-storey, 1,000 pupil post-primary school.
The post-primary school is to include a four-classroom special educational needs unit with a gross floor area of 11,331sq.m, a sports hall and all ancillary teacher and pupil facilities.
It is proposed that there will also be a two-storey, 16-classroom primary school and a two-classroom special educational needs unit, a general-purpose hall and all ancillary teacher and pupils’ facilities with a gross floor area of 2,820sq.m in the development.
