Reviewed build intelligence

What the documents establish

Government document review

The 20 August final grant retains existing 1,797.5 m² temporary accommodation for five years from final grant. This is continued temporary school use, not a newly added building.

2 official documents inspected · Checked 2026-09-07 · Official file index

Existing accommodation retained for five years

Final grant for existing temporary accommodation

What the evidence says
The final grant retains the existing 1,797.5 m² two-storey temporary building with eighteen classrooms and ancillary facilities. Condition 3 allows five years from final grant and requires removal within three months afterwards unless further retention is granted. Conditions of SD16A/0154, revised by SD19A/0368, continue except where modified.

Why it may matter — interpretation
School suppliers should assess continued use and any completion or maintenance needs without treating retained floor area as new construction.

What is not established
A permanent replacement school, new classroom award and satisfaction of all conditions are unverified.

Duration of Permission

The engineering report is from the earlier 2019 design

Refiled 2019 engineering context

What the evidence says
The report received in May 2026 is revision 0 dated 7 November 2019. It describes reusing existing foul drainage, water connection and soakaway for the earlier additional classroom floor, including a 70 m² roof-area increase in that design. These statements describe the retained building design basis, not a new 2026 extension or fresh condition survey.

Why it may matter — interpretation
Drainage specialists need an updated assessment before describing current system condition or new work.

What is not established
Current drainage condition, fresh infiltration tests, newly installed equipment and a new 70 m² roof extension are unverified.

The grant preserves foul and surface-water separation

Drainage condition on the retention grant

What the evidence says
Condition 4 requires complete separation of foul and surface-water systems and compliance with Uisce Éireann requirements. Any new precast surface-water manholes require at least 150 mm of Class B concrete surround. The condition does not establish that new manholes are required or installed.

Why it may matter — interpretation
Any remedial or completion works must preserve the stated separation and construction detail.

What is not established
A remedial schedule, new-manhole quantity and completed drainage works are unverified.
