It will also feature neighbourhood centre facilities including a childcare centre, two retail units and a primary healthcare unit/gym.
The approved application includes significant open space areas, such as playgrounds, as well as pedestrian and cycling infrastructure.
The Department of Education has recently agreed to acquire adjoining lands for a new educational campus and are shortly expected to apply for planning permission for a new primary school on the site.
New playing pitches will also be provided for Dunshaughlin Youths Soccer Club, in collaboration with Meath County Council.
