FJ Developments Ltd originally put forward plans in May 2024 with Louth County Council giving the stamp of approval on August 1.
However, the project faced appeals from a number of Dundalk residents.
An Bord Pleanála decided to uphold the county council’s decision in December last year, subject to 25 revised conditions.
