The new building should be a standalone single story block and should be located on the site so as to facilitate appropriate mini bus set down and drop off under a covered canopy. It should have a covered external link to the existing 1 968 mainstream block and should help distinguish the visitor’s main entrance to the school. If the design teams preferred design option is to locate the new building forward of the established building line from the road, a pre-planning consultation with Mayo County Council will be important before a planning application is lodged. Any loss of existing amenities such as play areas or sensory garden as a result of the preferred design option location will need to be replaced as part of the works. When situation the main entrance and play areas, the DT should be cognisant of the exposure of the site to the prevailing winds.
