An artist’s impression of what the new St Mary’s College school would look like
Residents in the vicinity of St Mary’s Road are set to lodge an appeal with An Bord Pleanala in the coming days following Dundalk Town Council’s decision to grant planning permission for a new school at St Mary’s College.
The go-ahead for the new two storey building was granted last week subject to 41 conditions.
However, residents remain concerned about a range of issues including the possibility of flooding, traffic congestion and the future use of the buildings that are currently used by the school.
The new school will include 50 classrooms, a PE and General Purpose Hall, canteen and sporting facilities and will be built on the grounds of the existing school.
However, residents have confirmed they will take the matter to An Bord Pleanala to appeal Dundalk Town Council’s decision to give the project the go ahead.
That will mean that no matter what the project will be delayed for some time while a decision on the appeal is made.
