What the documents establish
Government document review
Council decision dated 21 July 2026 with 13 conditions, explicitly not a final grant. The report is the final planning version issued on 19 May 2026 and received on 27 May. The selected records do not establish construction or later licensing compliance.

The proposed treatment capacity rises to 5,700 population equivalent
Proposed in application · Exact wastewater-plant upgrade proposal under application 2660289
What the evidence says
The planning report proposes increasing Kingscourt wastewater treatment design capacity from 2,400 to 5,700 population equivalent over a 25-year design horizon. This is wastewater design loading, not a housing-unit count or a measured current population.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: establishes the scale of the process upgrade using its own engineering measure.
What is not established
Commissioned treatment performance, a final grant and additional homes served are not established.

The proposed process and outfall are separate packages
Proposed in application · Plant-process and primary-discharge infrastructure in the May planning design
What the evidence says
The report includes replacement inlet works, biological reactors, clarifiers, chemical dosing and sludge treatment. It also proposes an outfall pumping station and approximately three kilometres of new primary-discharge pipe to the River Lagan. Existing structures not required for the future process would be demolished.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: distinguishes treatment equipment, decommissioning and the off-site outfall work.
What is not established
A supplier award, selected pump model, installed pipework and completed treatment plant are not established.

The odour-control proposal identifies HDPE carbon-filter units
Proposed in application · Odour-control package within the proposed wastewater treatment upgrade
What the evidence says
The report describes an odour-control unit comprising high-density polyethylene carbon-filter units with associated above-ground ductwork. This is a proposed equipment material and treatment approach, without a named product or supplier.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: makes the selected treatment approach visible without inferring a manufacturer.
What is not established
Final detailed sizing, manufacturer, purchase and installed performance are not established.

The roof plan allocates 94 proposed solar panels across three buildings
Proposed in application · May planning report: three specified roofs within the wastewater plant
What the evidence says
The report allocates 24 panels to the welfare building, 60 to the sludge-dewatering building and 10 to the MCC 1 kiosk. They are landscape-oriented and flush-mounted at the respective roof pitches of 22, 15 and 11 degrees. The total is 94 proposed panels, not an installed or procured array.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: provides an exact allocation and mounting intent for the solar work.
What is not established
Panel model, rated electrical capacity, purchase, grid approval and installation are not established.

The proposed access bridge uses precast beams and an in-situ deck
Proposed in application · Proposed access across the Cabra Stream; dimensions are design values
What the evidence says
The report places a replacement bridge roughly 11 metres east of the existing crossing. It describes two concrete abutments, precast beams and an in-situ concrete deck, with a nine-metre clear span and 1.7 metres clearance above normal stream level. The existing crossing would be removed.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: identifies the separate bridge structure needed for construction and maintenance access.
What is not established
Final bridge design approval, precast supplier, installed dimensions and completed works are not established.

The report sets out a sequence for access, process and demolition work
Proposed in application · Proposed construction sequence within one treatment-plant upgrade; not observed progress
What the evidence says
The proposed initial phase relocates services and builds the substation, replacement access and pumped outfall. New southern process units and MCC 1 follow, then northern sludge and chemical facilities. The western demolition, new storm tank and administration building are described as the final sequence.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: connects enabling, process and demolition packages without presenting the plan as a live construction programme.
What is not established
Actual commencement dates, completed stages, appointments and a contractual programme are not established.

The council decision requires an EPA licence-review application before works
Council condition; later compliance not inspected · Condition 2 in the council decision of 21 July 2026
What the evidence says
Condition 2 requires an application for review of the wastewater discharge licence within six months of the final grant and before development starts, unless the EPA agrees otherwise in writing. The decision notice itself is explicitly not a grant of permission.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: records the document’s stated dependency before construction; it is not evidence that the licence review was completed.
What is not established
A later final grant, licence-review submission, EPA agreement and actual start are not established.
