This page connects records for one planning case. Separate permissions, amendments and phases may belong to a wider development. A notified commencement date does not confirm that building work started.
Reviewed build intelligence
Government document review
Application received 11 August 2026, with no decision evidenced in the retained council record. May concept reports and the later July engineering report have different scopes; existing infrastructure and newly proposed measures remain separate.

Application proposal; outcome and implementation unverified · Galway City 2660287; Block A and the separate Block H2 change of use
What the evidence says
The July civil report describes 129 residential homes and 60 aparthotel units within Block A, with commercial and amenity space. Block A has a stated gross internal area of 19,840 m². A separate 312 m² permitted gym in Block H2 would become a creche. These are distinct uses and areas, not 189 homes or another 19,840 m² building added to the existing scheme.
Galway City 2660287; Block A and the separate Block H2 change of use
Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: keeps accommodation uses and building scopes separate in a mixed-use application.
What is not established
Permission, final accommodation schedule, new-build extent and completed conversion are not established.

Two source-named alternatives; final selection unresolved · May Block A concept strategy; domestic services only
What the evidence says
The May energy report explicitly proposes two alternatives: a Dimplex E Heat arrangement with an Edel hot-water heat pump, Xpelair MVHR and Q-Rad electric radiators; or a NIBE exhaust-air heat pump serving wet emitters and domestic hot water. The latter describes an integral 180-litre tank and passive supply vents. These alternatives are not two systems specified for every apartment, and neither is established as the final selection.
May Block A concept strategy; domestic services only
Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: makes named products useful while retaining the source’s unresolved choice.
What is not established
Selected option, apartment-by-apartment schedule, final quantities and procurement are unverified.

NIBE Exhaust Air Heat Pump
Application proposal; outcome and implementation unverified · May Block A landlord areas; not the domestic apartment strategy
What the evidence says
For ground-level landlord toilets and showers, the May report proposes air-to-water heat-pump hot water and limited LTHW heating. Its plant list describes 3 or 4 CAHV heat pumps, a plate heat exchanger, headers, circulation pumps and a 2,000-litre vessel. The source explicitly marks the vessel size as an estimate, and its prose also mentions twin condensers. This is a preliminary non-residential package, not a confirmed equipment count or the apartment system.
May Block A landlord areas; not the domestic apartment strategy
Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: separates common-area plant from household equipment and preserves uncertain sizing.
What is not established
Final heat-pump count, selected model, storage volume and installed plant are unverified.

Application proposal; outcome and implementation unverified · May P01 Site Section B lighting schedule submitted with the Block A/H2 application
What the evidence says
The May Site Section B schedule names Disano Ischia, Mini Giovi, Elfo and Faro fittings, a Southgate Aquila uplighter and a Ventilux weatherproof emergency bulkhead. Several external types specify a marine-grade finish and 4000 K, with instructions to match the existing installation. The table labels these as product examples; spotlight quantity and final positioning remain subject to drawings and on-site coordination. No total fixture count is established, and the Site Section B schedule is not silently relabelled as Block A alone.

Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: retains named technical evidence while respecting its site scope and example status.
What is not established
Final make/model approval, quantities, new-versus-existing fixture inventory and installation are unverified.

Application proposal; outcome and implementation unverified · Existing wider Crown Square infrastructure serving the proposed revised Block A use
What the evidence says
The July civil report states that the ground-level surface-water network, attenuation and flow controls have already been installed as part of the wider Crown Square works. It reports a controlled discharge of 7.1 l/s and describes reuse for Block A. This source-reported existing infrastructure is not counted as a new attenuation-tank package under the current application.
Existing wider Crown Square infrastructure serving the proposed revised Block A use
Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: prevents infrastructure history from being presented as entirely new work.
What is not established
Independent as-built records, commissioning tests and acceptance of the revised loading have not been inspected.

Application proposal; outcome and implementation unverified · July Block A proposal; added measures alongside reused drainage infrastructure
What the evidence says
The July civil report adds a green roof over the lower section of Block A and permeable paving to the drainage strategy. It expressly distinguishes these measures from the previous permission, which it says did not include a green roof or the additional SuDS measures. Their extent is referred to the accompanying civil and landscape drawings; no roof area or product build-up is inferred from this report.
July Block A proposal; added measures alongside reused drainage infrastructure
Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: identifies the changed technical package within an otherwise partly completed development.
What is not established
Approved extent, roof assembly, selected products and completed installation are unverified.

green roof over the lower section
Application proposal; outcome and implementation unverified · May feasibility letter appended to the July civil report; differing scope retained
What the evidence says
The civil report attaches a Uisce Eireann letter dated 14 May 2026 for 232 mixed-use units. It says water and wastewater connections are feasible without utility infrastructure upgrades, through private internal networks and subject to third-party permission and capacity evidence. That earlier 232-unit description is not reconciled to the application’s 129 homes and 60 aparthotel units. The letter is not treated as an unconditional connection agreement or an alternative housing total.
May feasibility letter appended to the July civil report; differing scope retained
Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: shows both a practical connection dependency and a source-scope discrepancy.
What is not established
A revised scoped feasibility response, third-party agreements, accepted capacity proof and completed connection are unverified.
