Green light for extension plans at school

PLANNING has been approved for a single-storey special needs extension at Scoil Chaitlin Maude in Killinarden.

The works consist of the construction of an adjoining single-storey special education needs (SEN) unit to the west of the existing school building and will include two SEN classrooms with safe base and storage facilities, a central activities space, office, multi-sensory room, cleaner’s stores, storage rooms, toilets, shower areas, and associated ancillary spaces plus an additional six car parking spaces to the north of the proposed extension.

Other works include the relocation of the existing attenuation tank; the relocation of the junior play area and orchard, and the inclusion of a new sensory garden and a secure soft play area to the west, with all associated site works.
