Council decision to grant 29 July 2026, notified 30 July. Selected document is not a final grant; later finish and lighting agreements remain unverified.
Office heating uses ASHP; heat-recovery ventilation has two options
Application design; later agreement and installation unverified · Office/front-of-house heating and the report's ventilation options for Units 5A and 5B
What the evidence says
The Issue 02 energy statement proposes all-electric air-source heat pumps for heating and cooling office spaces and front-of-house areas. The next section lists local heat-recovery ventilation units or central 100% outside-air AHUs with heat recovery, and variable-speed fan drives suitable for future demand-controlled operation. The office heating scope is not extended to all warehouse space, and the illustrative equipment photographs do not select a manufacturer.
Why it may matter — interpretation
An HVAC designer or supplier should confirm the office loads and chosen local-versus-central ventilation arrangement before selecting equipment or pricing the package.
What is not established
Final capacities, chosen ventilation option, selected manufacturer, refrigerant schedule and installation are unverified.

Roof PV is proposed for both logistics units
Application design; later agreement and installation unverified · Designated roof areas of Units 5A and 5B under SD26A/0132W
What the evidence says
The energy statement proposes rooftop photovoltaic systems in designated roof areas for Units 5A and 5B. It describes arrays optimised towards a minimum BER A design target and says excess power has the potential to be fed to the grid. These are the applicant's design intentions, not a measured BER, approved export connection or installed array.
Why it may matter — interpretation
A solar contractor can identify a roof-array package and should seek the final layout, structural coordination, capacity and connection agreement before pricing.
What is not established
Panel count, rated capacity, manufacturer, final roof layout, export agreement, procurement and installation are not established.

A BEMS is proposed for both units
Application design; later agreement and installation unverified · Controls and metering proposal for Units 5A and 5B
What the evidence says
The energy statement proposes a Building Energy Management System with front-end software to control and monitor mechanical and electrical services in Units 5A and 5B and provide metering information to facilities management. It does not identify a vendor or an installed system.
Why it may matter — interpretation
A controls integrator should request the points schedule, plant interfaces and metering requirements before specifying the proposed BEMS.
What is not established
Vendor, communications protocols, approved controls sequence, points schedule, procurement and commissioned system are unverified.

Office and warehouse fabric targets are different
Application design; later agreement and installation unverified · Separate office, warehouse-panel and dock-door elements in the application energy statement
What the evidence says
The Issue 02 energy statement sets proposed roof U-values of at most 0.14 W/m²K for offices and 0.16 for warehouses. Wall targets are 0.15 for offices, 0.18 for warehouse RW panels and 0.15 for warehouse AWP panels. The same table targets dock-door U-values of at most 1.30 W/m²K. These are design targets for specified elements, not measured building performance or a selected panel product.
Why it may matter — interpretation
An envelope or dock-door supplier needs to match the relevant element target, then coordinate the later council finish approval rather than applying one fabric value across the whole scheme.
What is not established
Exact panel build-ups, products, certified installed performance and final council finish agreement are not verified.

Phase 2 uses the wider drainage network and proposes full-retention interceptors
Application design; later agreement and installation unverified · Phase 2 connections and treatment measures; wider Phase 1 catchment infrastructure remains separate
What the evidence says
The engineering report places Units 5A and 5B in the wider permitted Phase 1 Outfall 2 catchment. It proposes siphonic roof drainage, permeable paving, filter drains, tree pits and rain gardens discharging to the wider attenuation system. Service-yard runoff is to pass through Class 1 full-retention interceptors, and fire-tender routes use Grasscrete or a similar approved surface. The wider catchment's basin volume is not a new Phase 2 construction quantity.
Why it may matter — interpretation
A civil or interceptor supplier should establish the Phase 2 connection and treatment package against the existing-network interface before pricing new storage or pipework.
What is not established
The report table shows 92.6 l/s while adjacent Phase 2 prose states 92.4 l/s for the shared outfall; this requires design clarification. Final interceptor models, compliance drawings and the actual built network have not been independently verified.

The decision requires revised lighting evidence before commencement
Council decision condition; final agreement unverified · Condition 3 for external and padel-court lighting under SD26A/0132W
What the evidence says
Condition 3 of the council decision requires written agreement to revised lighting information, including horizontal and vertical levels where bats are present, spill values at the Canal, existing lighting and proposed changes, and padel-court spill affecting Lucan/Tobermaclugg Stream. The decision date is 29 July 2026; the notification is signed 30 July. This is not a final lighting approval.
Why it may matter — interpretation
A lighting designer must coordinate ecological constraints and the requested spill calculations before relying on the original lighting layout.
What is not established
The written agreement, revised calculations, final luminaire schedule and installed lighting are not established.

Unit 5B office elevations and finishes need written agreement
Council decision condition; final agreement unverified · Condition 2: all building finishes, with a specific revised-elevation requirement for Unit 5B offices
What the evidence says
Condition 2 requires details of external materials and finishes for all permitted buildings and revised elevations for the Unit 5B office block, using a more varied material or colour scheme to break up its massing. These submissions must be agreed in writing before commencement. The selected notification records a decision to grant, not a final grant or a completed condition agreement.
Why it may matter — interpretation
A façade designer or supplier should obtain the agreed revised elevation and colour/material schedule before fixing quantities or ordering finishes for Unit 5B.
What is not established
The revised approved elevations, chosen finish products, final grant, procurement and installation are unverified.
