Final grant notified on 10 August 2026 following the council order of 1 July. February recommendations and March drawings identify design scope; no installation, commissioning or resolution of the extension interface is established.
Final grant covers one biomass enclosure and two LPG tanks
Council final grant verified · Cavan planning reference 2660235 at Bailieborough Community School
What the evidence says
The final-grant notification is dated 10 August 2026 and cites the council order of 1 July. It permits one biomass boiler enclosure and two new 2,000-litre LPG tanks, subject to seven conditions. These are plant and fuel-storage quantities, not housing units.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: separates the planning decision date, final notification and equipment scope.
What is not established
A commencement date, completed installation and commissioning are not established.

The school-specific recommendation is 200 kW
Design proposal; installation not established · Bailieborough-specific recommendation in report P02 dated 26 February 2026
What the evidence says
The February Stage 1–2a report recommends a 200 kW biomass boiler supported by high-efficiency gas boilers. It also calls for replacement of the existing motor control centre, integration with the existing heating header and controls, and a new domestic hot-water cylinder.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: identifies the actual retrofit package rather than applying the wider programme’s boiler range to this school.
What is not established
Selected boiler manufacturer, final capacity schedule, controls specification and procurement are not established.

The later drawing gives a larger enclosure envelope
Later application drawing; final installation unverified · March Stage 2B drawing following the February preliminary report
What the evidence says
The February report discusses a 13 m by 3.5 m enclosure. The Stage 2B drawing dated 26 March labels the proposed enclosure as 14,000 mm long, 4,100 mm wide and 4,268 mm high. It distinguishes enclosure supply by an ESCO manufacturer from the other mechanical and electrical services.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: preserves the dated dimensional revision and the stated package boundary.
What is not established
No specific ESCO supplier, contract award or as-built dimensions are established.

The LPG detail defines enclosure and civil requirements
Design proposal; installation not established · Stage 2B LPG detail of 26 March 2026; individual tank schematic
What the evidence says
The March schematic depicts a 3,000 mm long, 1,500 mm diameter LPG tank, at least 1 m surrounding clearance, roof netting, outward-opening gates and fencing at least 1.8 m high. It calls for a 150 mm concrete base. This single-tank schematic is not used to replace the grant’s two-tank quantity.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: separates a repeatable tank detail from the authorised number of tanks.
What is not established
Final supplier coordination, approved installation layout and completed safety clearances are not established.

The report flags a timing clash with extension works
Current sequencing not established · Dated February implementation caution, distinguished from the August planning grant
What the evidence says
The February report says the biomass project might not proceed as then planned because installation could interfere with the ongoing school extension. The August final grant establishes permission but does not establish that this sequencing concern was resolved.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: keeps an operational dependency visible without claiming that the earlier delay remains active today.
What is not established
A coordinated installation programme, resolved interface and current works status have not been inspected.
