The large scale capital project at the school is for the provision of a new 600 pupil school and ancillary accommodation. The project is at Architectural Planning Stage 3 – Tender Action and Award.
The original grant of planning was due to expire in December 2022, but due to changes to the Planning Acts in September 2021, it was no longer possible to apply for an extension to the planning permission for the main building project and a new application was required. The new planning permission application was lodged on 9thMarch 2023.
Dublin City Council issued a request for further information (RFI) on 9thMay 2023 pertaining to 3 items, the most complex being drainage proposals in relation to new requirements for nature based SUDS allowing for uplift in Climate Change Allowance (CCA) and assessment to meet Dublin City Development Plan including provision of a Flood Risk Assessment (FRA). The RFI was returned to Dublin City Council, the Planning Office has confirmed receipt and advised that a determination will be made in due course.
My Department officials will be in contact with the School authority on receipt of this determination from Dublin City Council.
