314-unit residential scheme approved as amendment to existing larger development

Castlethorn Construction ULC has submitted a planning application for a sizeable residential scheme in Dunboyne, Co Meath. The proposal covers roughly 7.93 hectares of land bounded by Station Road to the south and the railway line to the west. It is presented as an amendment to an existing larger development on the site.

The plan would see the construction of 314 residential units. Two‑thirds of the units would be detached or semi‑detached houses, with 234 houses ranging from two to three storeys and offering a mix of two‑, three‑ and four‑bedroom layouts. The remaining 80 units would be housed in four apartment blocks, ranging from one to five storeys. The ground floor of the apartment blocks would include a childcare facility.

The scheme is still pending approval from Meath County Council. The developer has not yet received permission, and the council has not confirmed a decision. The application is part of a broader development strategy for the area, but the council has not yet announced any timetable for consideration.
