Reviewed build intelligence

What the documents establish

Government document review

An August permission application for parking, paths, solar lighting and recreation areas. No grant or start of these improvements is established.

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

The parking figures describe existing and proposed totals

Received permission application; outcome unverified

What the evidence says
The council acknowledges a permission application received on 18 August for grounds improvements at St Finians GAA Club, Newcastle. The proposed gravel car park grows from 1,895 to 2,973 m² alongside paths, lighting, seating and an enclosed play area. The two parking figures are sequential totals, not 4,868 m² of new work.

Why it may matter — interpretation
Civil estimators should separate the existing car park from the proposed enlargement.

What is not established
Acknowledgement is not permission; commencement of these improvements is unverified.

The plan proposes low solar bollards beside the paths

Application drawing SFG-PLN-111

What the evidence says
The site plan specifies 1.1 m-high solar bollards at approximately 3 m spacing around pedestrian routes beside both pitches. It shows a compacted-gravel path and labels the all-weather training pitch as under construction. The pitch annotation is drawing context, not an independent site inspection.

Why it may matter — interpretation
Lighting and civil suppliers need to coordinate bollards with accessible paths and pitch interfaces.

What is not established
Total bollard count, lighting calculation, manufacturer, award and installation are unverified.

Two seating areas and enclosed play space are shown

Recreation works in the application layout

What the evidence says
The layout shows a seating area beside the existing coffee van with two picnic benches and a demountable canopy, and a separate picnic area with eight benches and four demountable canopies. The enclosed play area lies beside the latter.

Why it may matter — interpretation
Landscape suppliers can distinguish the two furnishing areas and separate play scope.

What is not established
Play-equipment type, safety specification, selected products and installed works are unverified.
