Final grant issued 24 August 2026 for Site D. The 1,301 m² office and staff area and 4,061 m² medical equipment area describe separate parts of the same 5,362 m² development.
Final grant retains medical technology use with ancillary offices
Final permission for the medical facility at Site D, Ashbourne Business Park
What the evidence says
The final grant issued on 24 August covers a four-storey office and staff area of 1,301 m² and a 4,061 m² medical equipment area, with 12 m internal clear height. Condition 3 restricts the unit to high technology or light industrial use, with offices ancillary to that use. The June response describes device calibration, testing, servicing and clinical training.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Specialist workshop, controlled workspace and training fit-out packages should follow the permitted medical operation and its ancillary office scope.
What is not established
Commencement, equipment procurement, clean-room classifications and installed systems are not established.

June PL2 plans clarify the four-level accessible office layout
June further-information layout incorporated by final grant condition 1
What the evidence says
The revised enlarged floor plans show internal dimensions, accessible WC layouts and turning spaces, a lift and circulation serving the four office and staff levels. These are the June PL2 plans submitted after the council requested internal dimensions and accessible staff facilities.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Interior, lift and sanitary fit-out teams can identify the submitted accessibility and circulation arrangement before developing detailed construction coordination.
What is not established
Building-control approval, detailed fit-out schedules and installed accessibility compliance are not established.

Roof plan leaves the final PV array to specialist design
Original A0007 PL1 planning roof proposal, read with the later grant conditions
What the evidence says
The original roof plan repeats a PV annotation stating 200 panels, about 430 m² and 10% of roof area, with rooflights also indicated. Its note leaves final PV location, layout and quantity to specialist design. The repeated annotation alone does not establish separate additional arrays or a settled procurement count.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Roofing and solar teams need to coordinate the array and rooflights while reserving final electrical output and layout for the specialist design.
What is not established
Agreed final panel count, kWp, electrical connection, structural loading and installation are not established.

Eastern footpath and future EV capacity are required
Requirements attached to the final grant; future charging capacity rather than a verified charger installation
What the evidence says
Condition 4 requires a two-metre concrete footpath and grass verge along the eastern roadside boundary, tactile paving, a mobility plan agreed before commencement and infrastructure capable of accommodating future EV charging at 20% of parking spaces.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Civil and electrical teams should coordinate frontage works, access geometry and charging infrastructure before fixing external works quantities.
What is not established
Approved mobility plan, installed chargers, agreed electrical capacity and completed frontage works are not established.
