What the documents establish
Government document review
Final grant dated 1 September 2026. Its pre-commencement conditions remain distinct from the May application proposals; no construction or completed compliance is established.
3 official documents inspected · Checked 2026-09-06 · Official file index
The final grant covers 169 homes in two connected blocks
Final-grant requirement; implementation not established · South Dublin LRD26A/0002W; final grant and earlier application reports
What the evidence says
The final grant is dated 1 September 2026, following the council decision of 21 July. It covers 169 homes, two commercial units and a creche in two blocks joined by an undercroft/podium. The stated gross floor area is 14,976.5 m², expressly excluding 1,975.8 m² of undercroft parking. Its 77 parking spaces comprise 66 undercroft and 11 on-street spaces. The earlier May technical reports describe 81 spaces; those versions must not override the grant description.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: distinguishes the actual final permission from the earlier conditional decision and preserves excluded floor area.
What is not established
Commencement, compliance approvals, occupation and built quantities are not established.

Date of Final Grant
District-heating compliance must be agreed; the heating system is unresolved
Heating selection unresolved; later compliance condition applies · May revision P1-P02 versus September final-grant condition 22
What the evidence says
The May energy report considers district heating and alternative ventilation systems, then lists both gas-fired boilers in all dwellings and roof heat-pump technology among its proposed solutions. The September final grant has a separate Tallaght District Heating Network condition: compliance details addressing the specified development-plan and local-area-plan criteria must be agreed before development. The inspected material does not resolve a final heating or ventilation selection, or prove that a district-network connection has been agreed.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: keeps alternatives and the later approval dependency visible instead of presenting one system as ordered.
What is not established
Final plant type, capacity, network agreement, selected ventilation and installation are unverified.

The May model contains 27 lighting positions; the final scheme still needs agreement
Modelled application products; final approval outstanding · May layout revision; four model schedules on page 6 and September condition 23
What the evidence says
The May public-lighting report lists 3 Veelite Metro Streetlight 19 W positions, 11 Metro 36 W positions, 8 Metro 36 W symmetric positions and 5 Veelite Chi Series 14 W positions. All four schedules state 3000 K. These total 27 modelled positions within that report, not an installed quantity. Final luminaire selection remains qualified in the report, and grant condition 23 requires a complete public-lighting scheme and electrical design for written agreement before works.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: exposes source-named equipment without converting a planning calculation into procurement or installation.
What is not established
An accepted final scheme, purchased products and operating lighting have not been verified.

The grant requires above-ground SuDS and separate foul drainage
Final-grant requirement; implementation not established · September final-grant condition 4
What the evidence says
Condition 4 requires surface water to be attenuated through above-ground SuDS, complete separation of foul and surface-water drainage, and a water or wastewater connection agreement before commencement. It prohibits building over public infrastructure and requires appropriate separation distances. The inspected condition establishes these requirements, not a tank size, agreed drainage layout or completed connection.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: identifies definite drainage and utility-consent dependencies without inventing a storage product.
What is not established
Final hydraulic calculations, storage capacity, accepted drawings and signed connection agreements are unverified.

The EV percentage condition applies specifically to surface parking
Final-grant requirement; implementation not established · September condition 3(d); surface-parking scope only
What the evidence says
Condition 3 requires electrical ducting and termination points for all surface parking spaces, with EV charging points initially provided at 20% of surface spaces. Details must be agreed before commencement. The condition does not state that this percentage applies to all 77 spaces, so no whole-development charger count or rounding assumption has been calculated.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: preserves the exact denominator and avoids a misleading equipment total.
What is not established
Final charger number, rating, model, layout and installation remain unverified.

The energy report sets fabric targets rather than measured performance
Application performance targets; detailed design unverified · May revision P1-P02; residential and non-residential requirements kept separate
What the evidence says
The May report proposes U-value ranges of 0.15–0.18 W/m²K for floors and walls, 0.12–0.18 for flat roofs, 0.10–0.16 for pitched roofs and 0.9–1.4 for windows. Its residential air-permeability target is 3 m³/m²/hr; the non-residential section instead targets 5 m³/m²/hr. The report retains a vary-as-required note and says detailed design will assess the solutions further. These are design targets, not installed material specifications or achieved test results.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: provides usable performance intent while distinguishing it from a selected construction system.
What is not established
Final build-ups, manufacturer specifications, tender targets and measured airtightness are unverified.
