The CBS Primary School in Chapel Street were recently granted planning permission by Dundalk Town Council for the construction of a new two storey extension.

The development will consist of the demolition of 45 square metres of the existing single storey toilet block and the removal of four existing prefab classrooms. In their place a new two storey extension will be constructed, consisting of 12 classrooms, a junior general purpose room, a library, a staff room, three special education tuition rooms and all ancillary accommodation.

The total area of the extension will be 2,001 square metres and the job will involve minor internal works to the existing school, including a new level access ramp to the main entrance. Externally, there will be 38 car parking spaces created, as well as 70 bicycle spaces and two junior play areas.
