Government document review

Final permission dated 26 August 2026 incorporates the submission received on 29 May. The submitted report prints a 2025 cover date while the roof plan is dated May 2026; that discrepancy is retained. Construction and final equipment selection are not verified.

3 official documents inspected · Checked 2026-09-06 · Official file index

Final permission was issued on 26 August

Final permission recorded; construction status unverified · Clare 2660353; rooftop addition to the existing protected hospital building

What the evidence says
The council issued final permission on 26 August 2026 for a rooftop plant room at Ennis Hospital, subject to two conditions. Condition 1 incorporates the drawings and particulars received on 29 May. This is a final grant, distinct from the earlier July decision in the weekly record; it does not establish that the work has begun.

A permission has been granted

The plant room is an 11.34 m² addition

Submitted design covered by final permission; installation not verified · New rooftop plant room only; existing hospital and earlier permissions remain separate

What the evidence says
The submitted report specifies an approximately 11.34 m² rooftop room for additional mechanical and electrical equipment. It describes works confined to roof level on the protected hospital building, with no change to the hospital’s existing use. The room area is not a hospital expansion total, and the report does not identify a particular heat pump, ventilation unit or equipment quantity.

New rooftop plant room only; existing hospital and earlier permissions remain separate

Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: provides a useful scale where the notice left area unknown, without inventing a services specification.

What is not established
Equipment types, capacities, manufacturer selection and procurement remain unverified.

Two beams support the room from the existing parapet

Submitted design covered by final permission; installation not verified · Submitted support arrangement for the new roof-level room

What the evidence says
The report proposes two structural beams fixed to the existing parapet. Its stated purpose is to avoid demolition or significant penetration of the existing roof and limit disruption to the operational hospital. This describes the proposed structural approach; it is not an independent verification of structural adequacy or an as-built record.

Submitted support arrangement for the new roof-level room

Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: identifies a specific structural package and its interface with the protected existing building.

What is not established
Beam sections, connection calculations, detailed design acceptance and completed installation are not established.

The roof drawing coordinates steel access and weathering

Submitted design covered by final permission; installation not verified · Drawing 2821-HLA-ZZ-00-DR-A-1200; local roof and support interfaces

What the evidence says
The May roof plan shows proposed steel access stairs and a new support member. It calls for the existing ladder to move 200 mm to accommodate the support structure and for the parapet to be reweathered. These are local interfaces around the small plant room, not a replacement roof or a quantified hospital-wide access package.

Drawing 2821-HLA-ZZ-00-DR-A-1200; local roof and support interfaces

Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: makes the practical access and weatherproofing interfaces visible alongside the structural proposal.

What is not established
Final flashing materials, detailed connections, construction sequencing and installed work are unverified.
