Reviewed build intelligence

What is being built

Government document review

The Commission lists appeal 501903, lodged on 17 August 2026, as pending. These findings come from the June 2026 Natura Impact Statement received on 15 June 2026. They do not establish a final planning outcome or installed work.

Photovoltaic panels are part of the proposed motor facility

Proposed in application · Proposed extension of the existing motor business at Ballycummin, Raheen

What the evidence says
The June 2026 statement describes a two-storey motor showroom and service workshop with photovoltaic panels, alongside a car wash, substation and external plant enclosure. It gives no selected PV system capacity.

Proposed extension of the existing motor business at Ballycummin, Raheen

Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: identifies a proposed solar package without inventing its size.

What is not established
Panel count, capacity, manufacturer, approval and installation are not established.

The tank figure is storage depth, not volume

Proposed in application · June 2026 application drainage description, separate from foul drainage

What the evidence says
The proposed northern attenuation tank has about 2.686 m storage depth and 150 mm connections. Drainage is assessed for a 100-year event with 30% climate and 10% urban-creep allowances; finished floors are at least 500 mm above the modelled drainage water level.

Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: preserves the meaning of the reported dimensions and design event.

What is not established
Tank volume, manufacturer, final engineering approval and installed capacity are not established.

Rain gardens use a specified soil depth and overflow route

Proposed in application · Nature-based drainage within the proposed development

What the evidence says
Rain gardens are proposed with about 900 mm of highly permeable soil and low-level perforated pipes. Swales use permeable geotextile and high-level overflows. These are application-stage drainage features, not installed landscape works.

Nature-based drainage within the proposed development

Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: identifies construction details for the proposed drainage landscape.

What is not established
Final locations, quantities, planting specification and installation are not established.

The report needs a coordinated oil-treatment interpretation

Application treatment scope requires clarification · Two treatment statements in the same June 2026 application report

What the evidence says
One passage describes permeable pavements as an agreed-in-principle alternative to conventional oil separators. The next page still proposes a Class 1 bypass separator upstream of attenuation for parking and circulation runoff. The report does not clearly reconcile those treatment scopes.

Two treatment statements in the same June 2026 application report

Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: neither omits the proposed separator nor assumes it treats every paved catchment.

What is not established
A coordinated approved drainage drawing and the exact separator catchment remain to be checked.

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 1 government-published PDFs were visually inspected. The Commission page exposes one PDF. Six selected pages were visually inspected. The separate engineer report, council conditions, complete site drawings and later appeal submissions have not been inspected. Proposals do not establish procurement or installed work.

What this record establishes

Only exact linked records appear here. A missing appeal, commencement or completion entry means that evidence has not been established on this page. It does not prove that the event never happened.

Planning scale and individual notice or phase quantities remain separate. Notice quantities are not added into a development total or completion percentage.
