Reviewed build intelligence

What the documents establish

Government document review

Council decision dated 31 July 2026 with 25 conditions. Official Commission case 501985 records an appeal lodged on 27 August 2026, due by 8 January 2027. The original technical report predates later amendments and no final grant or commencement is established.

A 50-home council decision with later amendments

Council condition; appeal pending · Exact council reference 25/60638; decision scope under appeal

What the evidence says
The 31 July 2026 decision describes 50 homes: ten two-bedroom duplex units, 32 three-bedroom houses and eight four-bedroom houses. Condition 1 incorporates further information received on 23 April and 7 July 2026. The original engineering report predates those revisions.

Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: separates the stated housing scope from the age of the original technical design.

What is not established
The pending appeal, final permission, detailed compliance and commencement are not resolved by this council decision.

LED lighting with 3000 K and programmable controls

Council condition; appeal pending · Public lighting condition for this development; no selected luminaire model or installed count

What the evidence says
Condition 5(j) requires the final lighting design to be agreed. It specifies energy-efficient LEDs, central-management compatibility using seven-pin NEMA sockets or an equivalent, warm-white 3000 K light, programmable NFC drivers and DALI cabling, and the residential U15 dimming profile. The lantern type must be agreed and registered on the SEAI Triple E register.

Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: exposes an evidenced controls and commissioning package while keeping final design approval open.

What is not established
An agreed lantern, supplier order, installation or commissioned dimming profile was not established.

A water connection agreement is required before the final grant

Council condition; appeal pending · Later council condition and explicitly earlier water-network design

What the evidence says
Condition 10(f) requires evidence of a signed Uisce Éireann public-water connection agreement before the final grant. The September 2025 engineering report had proposed a new connection because the existing spur was unsuitable after the entrance adjustment, and said feasibility confirmation was still awaited.

Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: identifies a delivery dependency without treating the old enquiry as an approved connection.

What is not established
A signed agreement, a later feasibility response, final connection location and completed works were not established.

An original gravity and infiltration drainage strategy

Original design; later amendments require reconciliation · Original application design only; later amended drawings not fully reconciled

What the evidence says
The original engineering report proposes gravity pipes from roads and paving to swales, rain gardens and engineered infiltration areas. Its stormwater simulations include the one-in-100-year event with a 20% climate allowance. This is the September 2025 planning issue, before the April and July 2026 amendments incorporated into the council decision.

Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: gives a traceable drainage strategy and its revision boundary.

What is not established
The final amended layout, installed storage, infiltration performance and construction detail were not established.

A named separator and modular soakaway in the original design

Original design; later amendments require reconciliation · September 2025 report; no confirmation that this product survived later amendments

What the evidence says
The original report names a Kingspan Klargester NSBP010 bypass separator for a maximum drained area of 5,560 m², with 1,000 litres of silt and 150 litres of oil capacity. It proposes modular geocellular soakaway units 1.35 m deep with 95% voids. These are source design statements rather than a purchase or installed specification.

Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: records an identifiable drainage product and dimension with an explicit historical status.

What is not established
Final product selection, approved substitution, procurement and as-built capacity remain unestablished.

A 2.4 m acoustic boundary wall remains subject to location agreement

Council condition; appeal pending · Council boundary-treatment condition; exact construction system not specified

What the evidence says
Condition 6 requires agreement on the exact location and alignment of the proposed 2.4 m acoustic boundary wall before commencement, subject to relevant landowner approvals. It also addresses a new back-garden boundary treatment where agreement is reached to set back to the road reserve.

Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: identifies an acoustic boundary package with a remaining alignment constraint.

What is not established
Agreed alignment, structural design, material, supplier and constructed wall were not established.

Remaining document questions
  • Which later official decision, approved detail or revision changes these source-specific findings?
  • Has a phase-specific official record established the selected equipment or installed specification?

Selected pages of 2 government-published PDFs were visually inspected. The exact council index lists 139 document rows. Only cited pages of 2 selected government-published PDFs establish these findings; the remaining catalogue has not been reviewed. Proposals do not establish procurement or installed work.
