Planning application received: an amendment of an approved scheme of 93 no. residential units at Boyne Road, Athlumney, Navan, Co. Meath, under Meath C

A planning application has been lodged with Meath County Council for an amendment to an already approved scheme of 93 residential units on Boyne Road in the Athlumney area of Navan. The applicant, whose name is not disclosed in the council’s public notice, has submitted the amendment under reference 22/1008. The proposal concerns changes to the boundary treatment on the north‑west side of the site, specifically affecting units 81 and 82, the public open space and the on‑site creche.

The amendments include the removal of a portion of boundary No.6 that fronts the open space, allowing the area to be used more freely. The applicant also proposes an alteration to the entrance path of unit 81 and a further amendment to boundary No.6 itself. All changes are to be accompanied by the necessary hard and soft landscaping, boundary treatments, footpaths and ancillary site works, ensuring that the development remains in line with the overall design intent of the original scheme.

The application was received by the council on 18 May 2026, with a decision due by 12 July 2026. The council has not yet issued a decision, and the status remains “decision due” in the public planning register. The amendment is being considered under the Meath County Council planning authority, and the application is listed on the council’s public planning list for the Navan area.

This amendment follows the original approval of the 93‑unit scheme, which was granted under the same reference number. The council’s notice does not provide further detail on the motivations behind the changes, but it confirms that the applicant intends to adjust the boundary layout to improve access and usability of the open space and to refine the entrance to unit 81.

The application is part of a series of planning submissions in Navan, including other residential and commercial developments in the surrounding area. As with all applications, the decision will be subject to public consultation and the council’s planning guidelines.
