Galway County Council refused the 16-apartment proposal on 29 July 2026; the Commission appeal is pending. The inspected specifications are application and further-information proposals, not an approved construction package.
Later services drawing names a bypass interceptor model or equivalent
Proposed in application · Trusky West north-site services layout, P03 dated 27 May 2026
What the evidence says
Drawing 12182-2001 P03 specifies a Class 1 bypass petrol interceptor serving an impermeable area of 1,850 m²: Kingspan Klargester NSBP004 or similar approved.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: gives a named reference model and treatment catchment for checking a drainage package.
What is not established
The or-similar qualification remains explicit. This is not an installed product, exclusive supplier appointment or evidence of final approval.

P03 defines minimum attenuation storage and loading detail
Proposed in application · May 2026 further-information drawing, not a national or development-phase total
What the evidence says
The later services drawing specifies a minimum 66.35 m³ attenuation tank with 100% storage coefficient, suitable for vehicle loading, an impermeable geomembrane, vent and inspection access, and 150 mm of 6F2 stone capping beneath its footprint. Its hydrobrake note gives a discharge of 2.0 litres per second.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: identifies storage, lining, access and supporting-groundworks requirements.
What is not established
The earlier report contains both 69.12 m³ and 66.35 m³. The later drawing supports the stated minimum but does not explain the earlier discrepancy. Construction approval, product choice and final hydraulic verification remain unestablished.

A2 target with heating and ventilation choices still to be selected
Proposed in application · October 2025 lifecycle strategy for the apartment proposal
What the evidence says
The lifecycle report targets a minimum A2 BER. It lists natural ventilation, mechanical ventilation with heat recovery, air-to-water heat pumps and exhaust-air heat pumps among technologies being considered, with the final combination to be decided during design.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: identifies the services options requiring a later coordinated design decision.
What is not established
These are alternatives or considerations, not a combined committed MEP system. No achieved BER, equipment manufacturer or installed capacity is demonstrated.

Stone and render are stated; window construction is inconsistent
Proposed in application · External finishes and lifecycle discussion in the October 2025 report
What the evidence says
The lifecycle report describes stone and render and powder-coated steel balcony/balustrade elements. Its window prose refers to aluminium double glazing while its table refers to uPVC/Alu-clad windows and doors.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: provides a starting external-material palette while identifying a window specification to reconcile.
What is not established
No single final window material is asserted. The report’s maintenance claims are not independently endorsed, and later detailed finishes approval or procurement has not been established.
