Development description
We are not proposing development or extension to the property. We wish to create an arch between 2 existing rooms. We are in operation since 1991 & in line with tusla registrations, as we were open so long ago, planning wasn't required at that time. Since new regulations were brought in, as we go about re-registration which is due every three years, as we didn't have planning, they request a signed affidavit from a solicitor. At the moment, we have a montessori class room and a small staffroom side by side and our intention is to knock down the wall between the two to make additional space to accommodate 5 extra montessori children. In line with requirements, we need to apply for a 'change in circumstance' through tusla. As part of this there are several requirements to consider, staff ratios, ample washroom facilities, ground floor space requirements, insurance and a letter from fire engineer stating that this change will have no impact to the current fire risk assessment & fire regulation. I have all the above sorted and now i just require a letter to state that our service is exempt from planning. *please see attached documents requested by tusla for 'change in circumstance'
