Causeway Coast & Glens Council notified of plans for five-classroom extension for Limavady school
Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council have been notified of plans for a five-classroom extension for a Limavady school.
The Proposal of Application Notice (PAN) refers to Rossmar School, 2 Ballyquin Road, Limavady.
The proposal is described as the “removal of two temporary modular classrooms and the construction of a five classroom extension, sensory garden and additional car parking”.
An information website on the proposal said: “It is proposed to provide a permanant five-classroom extension to Rossmar School building at 2 Ballyquin Road, Limavady. The development will provide additional teaching and support accommodation within the existing school campus. Tempoary modular classrooms will also be removed as part of the works and the on site park facilites enlarged.
"The proposed extension is single-storey and will be integrated with the existing school layout. The proposal will support the continued use of the site for educational purposes and will improve the accommodation available for pupils and staff.
"The design, scale and materials are intended to reflect the recently constructed school building and integrate appropriately with the wider site.
"Existing access arrangements will remain largely unchanged, landscaping and tree planting are also proposed to help mitigate the impact of the development and maintain the landscape quality of the Greystone Local Landscape Policy Area.
"The proposal represents a further investment in specialist educational provision at Rossmar School and will help provide modern, accessible and fit-for-purpose facilities for pupils, staff and visitors.”
A planning application will be made to Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council once the consultation period has ended.
