A revised planning application for permanent accommodation for Ballinteer Educate Together on the site where the school is currently hosted is being lodged shortly with the local authority. This application will also be seeking planning permission for a PE Hall for the host school. The timeframe for the delivery of the accommodation in question is dependent on the outcome of the planning application process.
