The proposed 35 no. apartment units will include 34 no. 1 bedroom units and 1 no. 3 bedroom unit. 32 no. of the proposed apartment units will be provided in 6 no. two storey apartment buildings in southern areas of the site. The proposed development includes the partial demolition and restoration of an existing two storey farmhouse and ancillary building to the northeast of the site, which will accommodate the additional 3 no. apartment units. The proposed development includes a new vehicular estate entrance to Janeville from the Rock Road (L-2490) to the east in addition to the extension of footpath and public realm upgrades on Rock Road, permitted in Cork County Council Planning Reference 22/4809 to the south. Access to the proposed development will also be accommodated by the existing internal road network of Janeville and the permitted eastern Janeville estate entrance (permitted by Cork County Council Planning Reference 22/4809) and the existing western Janeville estate entrance from the Cork Road. Ancillary site development works include landscape and amenity areas, servicing and drainage proposals, bicycle parking, bin storage facilities and the installation of a noise attenuation screen along the northern boundary. The proposed development also comprises minor amendments to the permitted road and footpath networks of previous phases at Janeville to the south, (Planning References 21/5556, 21/5936 and 22/4809) to facilitate access to the proposed development.

Reviewed build intelligence

What the documents establish

Government document review

The August council notification is a decision to grant rather than final permission. It states 227 homes, while its detailed house-type breakdown is internally inconsistent; the original 229 headline must not be read as a reconciled current count.

2 official documents inspected · Checked 2026-09-07 · Official file index

The decision states 227 homes; detailed type counts need reconciliation

Council decision and submitted design; final grant not established

What the evidence says
The August notification describes 227 residential units comprising 192 houses and 35 apartments. The June phasing drawing also totals 227 through 98 and 129 units. The notification’s detailed house-type list sums differently, so it does not support an unqualified reconciled type breakdown. The notice expressly requires a later final grant before development is authorised.

Why it may matter — interpretation
Planning and commercial review should obtain the operative reconciled schedule before using the earlier headline or house-type figures for quantities.

What is not established
Final grant, a reconciled detailed accommodation schedule, procurement quantities and commencement are not established.

Phase 1: 98 units; Phase 2: 129 units

The two-phase FI drawing requires revision under the later decision

August condition governs the earlier June phasing proposal

What the evidence says
The June P2 drawing proposes two phases, with the farmhouse and active-travel route included in Phase 1. Decision condition 4 instead requires the original three-phase basis unless otherwise agreed and a revised strategy identifying each phase. It requires the farmhouse complex, sustainable travel link and the full northern noise barrier and associated landscaping in Phase 1.

Why it may matter — interpretation
Enabling, conservation, landscape and acoustic packages need to be sequenced against an agreed revised strategy rather than the two-colour drawing alone.

What is not established
Written acceptance of a revised phasing strategy, final grant and delivery of any phase are not established.

Compound location and the parent crèche control phase sequencing

Decision conditions linking the new phase to existing estate infrastructure

What the evidence says
Condition 4 requires relocation of the construction compound away from open space and the farmhouse character area into a later phase, without obstructing pedestrian or cycling routes. The crèche permitted under 22/04809 must be operational before Phase 1 completion, and Phase 2 cannot start without the council’s written agreement.

Why it may matter — interpretation
Site-logistics and childcare delivery teams need these dependencies in the mobilisation and handover programme.

What is not established
A compound agreement, completed crèche, permission to begin Phase 2 and actual construction starts are not established.

The northern noise barrier must precede occupation

Acoustic requirement in the August decision

What the evidence says
Condition 6 requires full implementation of the Noise Mitigation Implementation Plan and completion of the noise barrier and associated landscaping in Phase 1 before any dwelling is occupied. This makes the acoustic boundary a delivery prerequisite rather than optional later landscaping.

Why it may matter — interpretation
Acoustic-fence and landscape suppliers should coordinate the continuous northern treatment with the first residential handover.

What is not established
Barrier product, final detailed agreement, installation, acoustic testing and occupation are not established.

Two internal road sections need cul-de-sac revisions with active travel links

Required road and public-realm revision

What the evidence says
Condition 8 requires revised layouts for the road north of dwellings 1021 to 1027 and north-east of dwellings 1028 to 1036. The layouts must preserve pedestrian and cycle connectivity and incorporate landscaping, shared-surface or home-zone measures, seating and trees, subject to written agreement before commencement.

Why it may matter — interpretation
Civil and landscape contractors need the agreed layout before fixing kerbs, paving, levels and planting quantities.

What is not established
An agreed revised layout, construction setting-out drawings and completed roads are not established.
