Ireland's land sourcing and planning data platform.

A land sourcing and planning data platform for Ireland. It holds every planning decision in the State — 203,449 applications across all 31 planning authorities — alongside national land-use zoning, flood extents, protected structures, ecological designations, subsoil mapping and Census 2022 demographics, so a site can be screened against all of them at once instead of one viewer at a time.

Developers and land sourcers judging whether a site is worth bidding on; planners, architects and consultants who need to know what a council has objected to nearby; renewable energy developers screening for the constraints that actually refuse schemes; and land agents who need a holding’s planning history evidenced before they advertise it.

Official public registries only. The national planning applications register (203,449 applications, 8,377 of them with a linked appeal to An Coimisiún Pleanála, formerly An Bord Pleanála), council decision documents read for the reasoning behind 16,834 refusals, GeoHive GZT land-use zoning, OPW/CFRAM flood extents, NPWS ecological sites, local authority Records of Protected Structures, Geological Survey Ireland subsoil mapping, each authority’s published Section 48 contribution scheme, Tailte Éireann’s Land Registry titles, ESB Networks’ grid capacity heatmap and the CSO’s farmland prices — plus OpenStreetMap’s mapped solar farms, which is volunteer-mapped rather than official. Nothing is scraped from property listings and nothing is estimated.

The platform is €195 a month, with a minimum term of 12 months. There is no self-serve checkout yet — billing is still being built, so access is arranged and invoiced directly until it is ready. You can check the data before you decide: there is a public page for every one of the 203,449 applications on the register, carrying the council's own reasoning where it was refused.

Book a demo and say what you work on. It is a short call on real sites in the county you work in, so you can judge it on your own ground. If it is useful, we set up your account and you sign in with your email — no password.

Two ways in. If you are looking for land, the sourcing tool searches either the State’s Residential Zoned Land Tax map — narrowed by county or a drawn area, site size, what is built on it and how close the nearest planning application is — or every field in the State — for strategic land on a town’s edge, or solar, battery and data centre land near spare grid capacity. Stack it with permissions nobody has started, refusals a better scheme could answer, and the constraints you want to keep clear of. If you already have a site, drop a pin on it with Check a site: zoning, flood, ecology, protected structures, subsoil and the planning history around it come back together, with the council’s reasoning on every nearby refusal. Either way the site card gives you the coordinates to look up the owner on landdirect.ie.

Owner names and site-level sale prices are not in it — Land Registry title boundaries are, but not who holds them, and house and farmland prices are medians for an area rather than for one site. Grid capacity is ESB Networks’ published heatmap, not a connection offer. The planning register we hold begins in 2021, so "no application here" means none in about five years, not never developed. The zoning layer covers 29 of the 31 authorities — Donegal and Wicklow are absent. Protected structures are loaded for 9 of the 31 (Dublin City, Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown, Fingal, South Dublin, Cork City, Galway City, Kildare, Roscommon and Wicklow), so elsewhere the map cannot tell you a building is protected. Development levy rates cover 12 authorities, on the public rates guide rather than in the dashboard. There are no letters to landowners yet. Searches can be saved, but there is no alert on a saved search: the only planning alert is a weekly email of new housing schemes of 10 or more homes. We would rather you knew that now than found it later.

No. Precedent does the desk research — pulling together what is already public and scattered across 31 council systems — so the judgement calls start from a complete picture. Reading the constraints is the easy half; arguing a scheme through a planning authority is not, and that stays with the professionals.
