Permission granted for demolition and construction works at Waterford school
Permission has been granted for demolition and construction works on the grounds of a Waterford school.
According to Waterford City and County Council, a planning application was submitted on behalf of Newtown School - which is on the Record of Protected Structures - in April this year, with a decision made this week.
The works will include the demolition of a portion of the existing 20th century rubble stone boundary wall (approximately 30 metres long and 2.5m high), its reconstruction to new alignment, and the construction of a single storey building with flat roof to house a new ESB sub-station and electrical switch room.
The existing pedestrian entrance to the school will be reinstated in the new reconstructed stone wall.
Drainage and associated site works are included in the permission.
