Commencement notices cover 137 and 10 units at the 233-home Baltrasna scheme in Ashbourne, Co. Meath

Meath County Council decided on 13 Mar 2026 to grant permission with conditions for planning application 2561044, a large-scale residential development in the townland of Baltrasna, Ashbourne, received on 29 Sep 2025. The decision sets 31 conditions; the final grant issued on 23 Apr 2026, and the permission expires on 22 Apr 2031. The applicant is Arnub Limited. On 3 Nov 2026 the council's file listed no appeal.

The council's description covers 233 residential units on a site of about 5.8 ha: 195 two-storey houses (164 three-bed, 10 four-bed and 21 five-bed) and 19 two-bed apartments and 19 three-bed duplexes in four three-storey buildings, with public open space of about 7,613 m², 431 car parking spaces and 496 bicycle parking spaces, and the demolition of a single-storey house and outbuilding. Vehicular access is from Cherry Lane, off the Dublin Road (R135), with a separate pedestrian and cyclist access from Hickey's Lane.

The council's file lists two valid commencement notices, both dated 30 Oct 2026: one covering 137 units and the other 10 units. The figures are separate: 233 is the permission's number of units, and 137 and 10 are the numbers each notice covers. PlanningBrief's site-start page lists the notices it holds for this permission. A commencement notice tells the council that building work is about to start. A completion certificate is filed when it is finished.
