What the documents establish
Government document review
A final grant covers this 31-home completion package. Existing homes and the drawing’s reserved future phase remain separate. Wastewater connection and revised drainage conditions still require compliance; permission is not proof of works commencing.
2 official documents inspected · Checked 2026-09-07 · Official file index
Final grant covers 31 homes within an unfinished estate
Final permission for the current completion package; existing and reserved future phases are separate
What the evidence says
The final-grant notification, signed 27 August after the 26 August order, covers eight semi-detached houses, one detached house and 22 further houses. Condition 1 incorporates the June further information; condition 2 limits the permission to the described application. The revised services drawing distinguishes the existing constructed estate and a reserved future-development area from the current completion package.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Builders and civil teams can identify the remaining permitted package without counting the existing estate or reserved phase as fresh supply.
What is not established
Commencement, final compliance agreements and permission for the reserved future-development area are not established.

Private wastewater treatment is temporary and requires a signed connection agreement
Final-grant condition, not evidence of a completed network upgrade
What the evidence says
Condition 17 permits private on-site pre-treatment only as an interim service pending the Ballinabrannagh wastewater-treatment upgrade. After that upgrade, the private plant must be removed and its area landscaped as public open space. No construction may start until a fully signed Uisce Eireann connection agreement is in place. The June services drawing shows the treatment plant, caretaker parking and pre-treated connection route.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Wastewater suppliers and contractors must plan both interim operation and eventual decommissioning, alongside the connection dependency.
What is not established
A signed connection agreement, commissioning, public-plant upgrade completion and installed treatment performance are not established.

Attenuation needs a revised material and at least 713 cubic metres
Council-required change to the submitted drainage design
What the evidence says
Condition 15 requires a revised attenuation tank design using a suitable alternative to the proposed plastic open-cell tank, for written approval before commencement. It also requires at least 713 cubic metres of storage, an upstream hydrocarbon interceptor, permeable parking and a 20% climate-change allowance. Surface-water CCTV and as-built drawings are required before occupation.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Drainage and civils procurement should wait for the agreed replacement tank design and include the required survey and handover evidence.
What is not established
The replacement tank material, final agreed design, installed volume and completion surveys are not established.

Homes need EV connections and certified 3000K public lighting
Final-grant electrical and lighting requirements
What the evidence says
Conditions 11–13 require external electrical connections for future charging at every in-curtilage residential parking space, an agreed LED public-lighting design using 3000K sources, and underground services and broadband ducting. A lighting survey, correction of faults and completion certification are required before first occupation.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Electrical and lighting teams can separate charger readiness from installed chargers and include design approval, testing and certification in the package.
What is not established
Installed chargers, charger ratings, agreed lighting layout and completed certification are not established.
