SITE FEASIBILITY & RISK REPORT

Compiled via AI Swarm Research • Checked for completeness

Target AddressRear of 14 Dartmouth Road, Ranelagh, Dublin 6
Site EircodeD06 K2X8
Proposed ProjectSubdivision of rear garden & construction of 2-storey mews
Report StatusManually Verified PDF

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY & POLICY ALIGNMENT

HIGH RISK DETECTED
Protected Structure Proximity

Site lies within 35m of Dartmouth Square Conservation Area (RPS Ref 2145). Section 16.10.16 of Dublin CDP strictly controls height ratios. Similar mews applications on this lane were refused due to visual amenity.

POLICY ALIGNED
Zoning Compliance (Z1 Residential)

The land is zoned as Z1 (to protect, provide and improve residential amenities) under GeoHive national land use database. Proposed residential use is fully permissible in principle under current zoning regulations.

2. ENVIRONMENTAL & GEOSPATIAL AUDIT (PostGIS)

Flood Risk Zone Zone C (Low Risk)No OPW CFRAMS intersection.
NPWS Ecology Clear (SAC/SPA)No protected habitats within 5km.
ABP Precedent Match 5 Local Precedents3 Refusals, 2 Grants identified.

Tired of searching through decades of PDFs?

You're losing hours cross-referencing local development plans, searching An Bord Pleanála decisions, and guessing how a planner might interpret subjective policies.

1

Missed Precedents

Missing a crucial refusal on the same street can lead to a rejected application and a frustrated client.

2

Policy Overload

Manually checking proposals against 500-page Development Plans is slow, tedious, and prone to human error.

3

Unbillable Hours

Hours spent doing initial site feasibility research are often hard to bill back to the client fully.

ABP Precedents Extraction (ResearcherAgent)

The ResearcherAgent executes hybrid searches (pgvector cosine similarity + tsquery keywords) on planning_cases to fetch the top 5 most relevant local decisions.

  • Semantic vector search across 83,000+ cases
  • Natural language querying (e.g., "Mews developments in Ranelagh")
  • Filter by "Refusals Only" to find failure patterns
> Query: Corner site sub-divisions in D4

Regulatory Policy Verification (AuditorAgent)

The AuditorAgent cross-references the precedents against the consolidated development plans loaded into Vertex AI Search to verify policy compliance and prevent hallucinations.

  • Grounded in official CDP documents via AI
  • Exact clause citations, eliminating AI hallucinations
  • Checks zoning constraints instantly
Policy Verified

Proposal accords with Section 15.13.3 (Infill Development) of the Dublin City CDP 2022-2028.

Geospatial & Environmental Risk Check (ContextAgent)

The ContextAgent runs parallel spatial checks on Neon PostGIS to detect: Flood Risk (OPW CFRAMS intersections), Ecological Restrictions (SAC, SPA, NHA intersections), Conservation (Protected structures within 50m), Zoning (Local GZT land use compliance), and ABP Local Appeal History (within 200m).

  • Flood Risk detection (PFRA/CFRAMS)
  • Ecological analysis (SAC, SPA, NHA)
  • Protected Structures & Zoning (GZT)

See what planning professionals are saying about Precedent.

"I was worried the AI wouldn't understand the nuances of Irish planning law. But seeing exact citations from the Development Plan alongside precedents completely changed my workflow. We used to spend days on feasibility; now it's done in 10 minutes."

SO
Sarah O'Connor
Senior Planner

"Catching a refusal risk early saves our clients thousands in redesign fees. Precedent spotted a subjective interpretation of 'visual amenity' in a specific postal code that we would have totally missed."

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the report ordering process work?

Simply click "Order Custom Site Report", enter the Eircode of the site, and describe your proposed project. Our AI agent swarm immediately runs parallel analysis across planning cases, environmental risks, and local development plan policies. We check the compiled data for completeness and email you a print-ready PDF feasibility report within 24 hours. You only pay after you receive the report.

What data is the AI report grounded in?

We query official public registries and spatial databases automatically to compile your report:

  • 83,000+ ABP Case Details
  • ABP Inspectors' Reports
  • NPWS Ecological Boundaries
  • OPW Flood Risk Zones (CFRAMS)
  • Record of Protected Structures
  • GeoHive National Land Use (GZT)

Will this replace traditional planning consultants?

No. Precedent reports are designed to augment professionals, not replace them. The report compiles and cross-references data to save you 6+ hours of manual desk research, giving you a structured overview of potential pitfalls so you can draft better-informed planning arguments and client feasibility reviews.

Can I expense this report to my client's project?

Yes. Every report purchase is billed as a one-off business expense (VAT invoice provided). Planners and architects typically pass this cost through directly to their client's project expenses, making the service completely cost-neutral to their own firm.
