Case Study 5:
DULEEK BUSINESS PARK
Unlocking industrial growth through phased development.
Strategic Background
Duleek Business Park (DBP) is an expanding commercial and light industrial hub in County Meath, positioned near the M1 corridor to serve regional enterprise activity. As development across the site increased, so did the need for coordinated infrastructure planning, utility integration, and site-wide regulatory compliance.
Brady Hughes Consulting has played a strategic consultancy role in DBP’s development for over 20 years. Our ongoing support reflects our strength in managing multi-phase commercial developments, ensuring each stage is built on a foundation of technical accuracy, planning insight, and future readiness.
Planning & Collaboration
The site required a coordinated, multi-phase approach that brought together landowners, businesses, local authorities, and utility providers. Our planning team managed submissions for new builds, site connections, drainage, and change-of-use applications, helping ensure the park’s growth aligned with both commercial ambitions and local development plans.
Through ongoing dialogue with Meath County Council, we helped secure approvals and updates across numerous development cycles, providing clients within the park with a streamlined planning process that aligned to regional planning goals.
Our Role & Services
Community Collaboration
Duleek Business Park is now a key employment centre in the region, attracting logistics, manufacturing, and commercial operations. Throughout, our work supported not just site development — but wider community infrastructure integration, such as road improvements, drainage planning, and environmentally sensitive design.
Our collaborative approach ensured that growth within the park benefited both the business community and the surrounding area.
infrastructure
We delivered and coordinated:
Site-wide surface water and foul water drainage
Upgraded HGV access and turning points
Expanded utility services to support new phases
Phased infrastructure planning that reduced long-term costs
Our engineering team ensured new works aligned with existing systems and anticipated future expansion.
sustainability
As Duleek Business Park scaled up, we supported sustainability across all planning and engineering design stages:
Encouraging adaptive reuse of buildings
Minimising environmental footprint via phased drainage planning
Coordinating with authorities to ensure long-term serviceability and compliance
Milestones & Project Outcomes
Over 20 years of consultancy support to DBP developers
Numerous planning permissions secured for individual buildings and infrastructure
Infrastructure scaled for ongoing development without major redesigns
DBP continues to attract tenants and expand as a regional enterprise hub
Challenges & How We Overcame Them
Multi-phase Complexity
We managed overlapping timelines, tenants, and land uses with careful planning and coordination.
Infrastructure Phasing
Each phase required engineering that could plug into the next. We designed with foresight to avoid costly retrofits.
Evolving Regulations
Our team ensured that each planning submission aligned with the most current planning and environmental guidelines.
Insights for Future Projects
Summary & Strategic Impact
Duleek Business Park exemplifies the long-term, strategic value Brady Hughes Consulting brings to large-scale industrial development. Through an enduring partnership with Lorrac Development and ongoing coordination with Meath County Council, we helped shape the vision, secure planning, and deliver phased infrastructure for one of County Meath’s most significant commercial hubs.
This collaboration enabled a continuity of intent — from zoning and compliance to serviced site readiness — and ensured that each development phase aligned with regional economic goals. The result is a future-focused business park that accommodates flexible industrial, warehouse, and showroom uses, and reflects the strength of sustained consultant–developer–authority collaboration.
