Conditional permission has been granted for the construction of a primary and performing arts school in the Kiltoom area, outside Athlone.
Ann-Bernadette Keane applied to Roscommon County Council last October for planning permission for the single storey primary and performing arts school on a site at Corramore and Barrymore townlands, Kiltoom, Athlone, Co Roscommon.
The plans also include the upgrade of the existing access road, and the provision of a wastewater treatment plant, landscaping and ancillary works on the site.
A positive decision was reached on the application last Wednesday January 14, subject to a total of 22 conditions.
The conditions include the provision of a formal set down and pick up area within the school site. The developer is asked to submit proposals for this area, which should facilitate drive in, set down, and drive out without requiring any reversing movements. Car park areas are also to be clearly marked out.
Precise details of the construction of the access road, and of roof and external finishes must also be agreed in advance.
A number of other standard conditions apply to wastewater, drainage management and the maintenance of groundwater levels.
