Planning permission sought for modular classrooms at Craigavon Senior High School
Plans have been lodged for the erection of three modular classrooms at the back of Craigavon Senior High School, Lurgan Road, Portadown.
The units, if approved by ABC Planning officers, will each provide 60m2 of general classrooms. One of them will become an ICT classroom. They will remain in place for a 24-month period.
The planning application is currently at the consultation stage. NI Water have raised no objections, but have asked the Education Authority to provide evidence the proposed works will not affect the existing sewer infrastructure.
Historic Environment division have no issue with the planning application either.
DfI Roads Southern Division were more cautious stating: “DfI Roads notes from the application form this is a temporary proposal to address increased enrolment issues.
“A Transport Assessment Form (TAF) should be submitted to justify the proposal. It should detail existing staff and pupil numbers, and the expected increase in staff and pupil numbers (retrospective numbers if already in place).”
