The Board of Management of the CBS Primary School in Chapel Street have applied to Dundalk Town Council for planning permission to build a new two storey extension onto the school.
The proposed development will consist of the demolition of 45 square metres of the existing single storey toilet block and the remove of four existing prefab classrooms.
They will be replaced by a new two storey extension, which will consist of 12 classrooms, a junior general purpose room, a library, staff room, three special education tuition rooms and all ancillary accommodation.
The proposed extension would be 2,001 square metres and would also require minor internal works to be carried out to the existing school, including a new level access ramp to the existing main entrance.
As well as the extension, the school have also applied for permission for 38 car parking spaces, 70 bicycle spaces and two junior play areas.
