Key takeaways

  • Permission for 611 homes was granted on appeal on 25 June 2026.
  • The scheme mixes houses, duplexes and apartments, with childcare and open space.
  • The school land is reserved; phasing and community obligations remain part of delivery.

What was approved

An Coimisiún Pleanála granted the Boherboy scheme permission with revised conditions on 25 June 2026. The 611 homes comprise 306 houses, 133 duplexes and 172 apartments. Apartment buildings reach up to five storeys.

The plan includes a childcare facility, approximately 2.3 hectares of public open space and a 1.03-hectare reservation for a future school. Reserved land is not a school construction approval.

Homes and services are linked

The permission requires agreed phasing and links occupation of specified apartment blocks to completion of the childcare facility, unless otherwise agreed. It also requires connections to adjoining lands and a €534,616.20 contribution towards a new community centre in the area. External finishes remain subject to agreement.

GoSiteHunt analysis: test infrastructure as well as yield

A large housing count brings delivery obligations. Phasing, drainage, movement links and community facilities belong in the feasibility assessment from the start. The planning grant establishes permission; it does not establish that construction has begun.
