Planning application received: 2 no. single storey extensions to the rear of the existing school building including removal of existing prefabricated b

On 3 June 2026 the Tipperary County Council received a planning application from Holycross in Thurles for two single‑storey extensions to the rear of an existing school building. The proposal also calls for removal of an existing prefabricated structure and all associated site works.

The applicant is listed simply as “Holycross, Thurles, Co. Tipperary.” No further details about the applicant’s identity are provided in the council’s records. The application was submitted to the council’s planning portal under reference 2660538 and currently carries no decision code; a formal determination has not yet been made.

The extensions would add two new single‑storey units behind the current school premises, with the prefabricated building slated for demolition as part of the works. Site works are expected to include any necessary site preparation, foundations and utilities required for the new structures. The council’s planning documents do not specify the exact dimensions or intended use of the extensions beyond their single‑storey nature.

The application was filed on 3 June 2026, and the council has recorded it as received. No decision date or outcome is listed in the public record at this time, so the status remains pending. The council’s portal also lists other recent decisions in Co. Tipperary, such as new dwelling houses and modifications to existing properties, but these are unrelated to the Holycross school proposal.

Residents of Holycross may wish to consult the council’s planning portal for updates on the application or to submit any comments they might have before a decision is made. The council typically publishes decisions once a determination has been reached, at which point further details will become available.
