On behalf of Iveagh Primary School, welcome to the Digital Public Information Event for their plans to provide a new primary school building at Castle Hill, Rathfriland.
The proposed development includes demolition of the existing school building and construction of new single storey school accommodation. Proposed works also include removal of existing mobile accommodation, new hard and soft play areas, new car parking and bus and car drop off points. The existing nursery school is to be retained, as is the existing access off Castle Hill.
You can view the proposed development plans for the proposal below and complete an online feedback form based on the information provided. The information contained on this website and the feedback forms provided are in addition to a public consultation event which will be held in Iveagh Primary School, 17 Castle Hill, Rathfriland BT34 5NH on Wednesday 11th June 2025 between 4pm and 7pm. Details of this event have been advertised in the local press and notification leaflets circulated within the vicinity of the proposed site.
This website provides an alternative public consultation platform to the event to be held within the school. Iveagh Primary School would encourage all those with an interest in the proposal to leave their feedback below. Contact details of all respondents will be held confidentially and in line with GDPR regulations.

We would encourage all those with an interest in the proposal to leave their feedback below.
Public Consultation is now closed.
What Happens Next?
This digital public information event will close on Monday 15th September 2025 and any comments received up to that point in time will be considered by the design team. We would ask that comments are submitted either via this website or to Resolve Planning directly no later than this date. Once all of the feedback has been considered and any necessary changes made, the design team will proceed to submit a planning application to Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council.
It is important to note that any feedback on this website is a representation to the applicant, and not to the planning department in Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council. Directly. If a planning application is subsequently submitted, normal neighbour notification and publicity will be undertaken and you will have the opportunity to make formal representations regarding the proposal at that time.
If you have any difficulty accessing the information on this website, any difficulty using the feedback form or require hard copies of the presentation boards, please contact Sarah McDowell at Resolve Planning.
