Plans lodged for extension to Letterkenny Educate Together NS

Plans have been submitted for a planned extension to Letterkenny Educate Together National School.

The Department of Education has sought planning permission for works to the school, at Ballyboe, Lisnennan.

The proposed development would see the construction of a new two-storey extension to the existing three-storey north eastern gable wall of the existing facility.

The planning application states that the proposed extension would consist of four new classrooms, a library and a staff room to include all related plant areas and service risers with site works also to include changes to the internal road layout and bus setting down area.

Also provided for in the application are site services and drainage, public lighting, landscaping and all ancillary site development works.

LETNS first opened its doors in 2006, initially based in prefabricated buildings at Ballyraine, before moving to their new state-of-the-art 24-classroom development near the former Unifi site in Kiltoy at the end of October 2017.

In February 2018, the then Minister for Education and Skills, Richard Bruton TD, performed the official opening of the facility which now caters for over 350 pupils.

Donegal County Council say that a decision is due to be made on the application by February 21, 2024.
