Planning conditional: permission for the construction/placement of a modular classroom building to the east of the school

A planning application submitted by the Board of Management of Urbleshanny National School in Carrowhatta, Scotstown, Co Monaghan, has received a conditional decision from Monaghan County Council. The proposal concerns the construction or placement of a modular classroom building to the east of the school site. The application was lodged on 1 April 2026 and the council’s decision was made on 25 August 2026, with the decision due by 1 September 2026. The council’s decision code is listed as CONDITIONAL, indicating that the approval is subject to certain conditions that must be satisfied before construction can proceed.

The modular building, intended to provide additional classroom space, will be situated on the school grounds, east of the existing school buildings. The decision is recorded under reference 2660123 in the council’s planning portal. The Board of Management, acting on behalf of Urbleshanny National School, has sought the additional space to accommodate growing student numbers and to enhance the school’s facilities.

The conditional nature of the decision means that the school will need to meet specific requirements set out by the council, such as compliance with building regulations, environmental assessments, and any other statutory conditions. Once these conditions are met, the school can move forward with the construction of the modular classroom.
