Government document review
Final permission signed 25 August covers a change of use of part of Kilcooley National School at Ballydavid. The planning drawing labels 87.2 m² childcare within a 607.9 m² existing school. Existing access and services are shown; the older parking references require reconciliation and are not treated as verified permissions here.

Final permission for the existing school partial change of use
What the evidence says
The signed 25 August grant permits part of the existing national school at Ballydavid to change to before-school, after-school and preschool use. Condition 1 binds the plans received 29 May, and condition 2 confines the permission to the public-notice scope. It does not authorise a replacement school or a separate new childcare building.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Operators and fit-out teams can distinguish the approved conversion from wider school-site development.
What is not established
Child capacity, opening date, commencement, contractor appointments and operational registration were not established.

May planning layout bound by the final grant
What the evidence says
PL-01 labels the whole existing school at 607.9 m² and the childcare area at 87.2 m². Red boundaries identify the conversion area; the plan separately marks an existing toilet in blue and the existing access to be used with the facility. The rest of the school is not additional childcare floor area.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Fit-out and accessibility teams have an explicit room boundary and retained access/toilet interface.
What is not established
The drawing does not establish child-place capacity, a new building area or detailed building-control compliance.

Existing services shown for the partial conversion
What the evidence says
PL-02 labels existing set-down and parking areas, an existing wastewater treatment system and a soakaway. The planner records an existing entrance, water supply and wastewater connection. These are retained-site arrangements, not evidence of a newly specified treatment installation or new parking construction.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Civil and services teams should establish the retained systems condition and capacity before assuming new plant or access works.
What is not established
New treatment capacity, an installed upgrade and the exact legal history of the parking areas are not verified; older references in the report need reconciliation.

Drainage condition in the 25 August final permission
What the evidence says
Condition 3 requires satisfactory surface-water disposal, prohibits discharge onto the road or adjoining property, allows only clean uncontaminated stormwater to soakaways or surface waters, and protects existing land and road drainage.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Drainage designers need to verify the retained discharge arrangement and any required remedial work before construction.
What is not established
Discharge testing, capacity calculations, remedial design and completed drainage works were not reviewed.
