Planning application received: The installation of additional gas storage tank as part of a heating systam upgrade

Mount Saint Michael's Secondary School in Claremount has lodged a new planning application with Mayo County Council to install an additional gas storage tank as part of a heating system upgrade. The Board of Management submitted reference 2660450 on 9 June 2026, and the proposal involves adding a gas storage tank to the existing heating infrastructure at the school, located at F12 TY09. The council has accepted the application and it is now in the new‑application stage; a decision is expected by 3 August 2026.

The upgrade aims to improve the reliability of the school's heating during winter months. No further details on capacity or design have been released yet, but the Board of Management will oversee the project while Mayo County Council acts as the reviewing authority.
