The Board of Management of CBS Secondary School Kilkenny has sought planning permission for the substantial planning development of its new school in the west of the city.
The proposed development will consist of the construction of a part three-storey, part two-storey 37-classroom school building with a total floor area of 10,564 sqm and incorporating associated support teaching spaces, offices and meeting rooms, a multi-use hall, library, staff rooms and all ancillary accommodation, including photovoltaic panels and green roofs at roof level.
Growing opposition from councillors to proposed closing off of Dunningstown Road

Members of Kilkenny County Council voiced their concerns and objections to closing off the Dunningstown Road at an in-committee briefing meeting that took place today.
The proposal to change the traffic infrastructure to facilitate the development of a new school, includes closing off the Dunningstown Road and, according to residents, effectively cutting off their traditional route into the city.
Residents have lobbied local council members to come up with an alternative solution that does not involve closing their road.
When contacted by The Kilkenny People, Cathaoirleach Andrew McGuinness confirmed that the meeting did take place and that he, along with his council colleagues, voiced their support for the development of the school but insisted that an alternative traffic management plan be compiled.

Kilkenny County Council Chairman Andrew McGuinness has confirmed that he does not support proposals that include blocking off the Dunningstown Road and has stated that he fully supports local residents who are campaigning for a better solution.
The new road design proposals are being put forward to facilitate an expected increase in traffic volume following the development of a new school in the area. The proposals include blocking the Dunningstown Road, a move many residents feel will cut their community off from Kilkenny City.
“We all want to see the development of a new school. It is badly needed and the sooner it happens the better. However, like any development, it cant be at the expense of what we already have and we cannot simply cut off a community of people with, what I believe, is a poor road design,” said Cathaoirleach Andrew McGuinness.
