SITE FEASIBILITY & RISK REPORT
Compiled by Precedent.ie Site Intelligence • Human-checked before delivery
1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY & POLICY ALIGNMENT
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.
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)
Reports Grounded in Official Irish Public Data
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.
Missed Precedents
Missing a crucial refusal on the same street can lead to a rejected application and a frustrated client.
Policy Overload
Manually checking proposals against 500-page Development Plans is slow, tedious, and prone to human error.
Unbillable Hours
Hours spent doing initial site feasibility research are often hard to bill back to the client fully.
Reclaim Your Billable Hours
Stop spending half a day hunting down county development plan PDFs and zoning coordinates.
💡 ROI Proof: If this report saves just 1.5 hours of your research time, it has fully paid for itself.
Find the refusal two doors down — before it finds you
We search 209,000+ Irish planning decisions by meaning, keyword, and distance from your site, then cite the most relevant local decisions — grants and refusals — with the real distance to each one.
- Similar projects near your site, not just anywhere in Ireland
- Refusal rationales extracted from inspectors' reports
- Refusal trends for the area, so you can design around them
Know what the zoning actually allows
Your site's land-use zoning is looked up in the national GeoHive zoning database and set against the county development plan objective — so you know whether your proposed use is permissible in principle before you spend money on design.
- Zoning class and objective for the exact site coordinates
- Permissible and open-for-consideration uses spelled out
- On-site planning history from the local authority record
Proposal accords with Section 15.13.3 (Infill Development) of the Dublin City CDP 2022-2028.
Six environmental & ground checks, run in parallel
Every report screens the site against the constraints that derail applications and budgets: OPW flood extents, protected habitats (SAC/SPA/NHA), Protected Structures nearby, GSI subsoil and peat conditions, and the local appeal history around the site.
- Flood risk from OPW national mapping (CFRAM/PFRA)
- Subsoil classification & peat screening (GSI Quaternary 50k)
- Ecology (SAC/SPA/NHA) and Protected Structures within range
A report you can hand straight to a client
Findings arrive as a structured, print-ready PDF: an executive summary with the critical alerts up front, a scored risk register with mitigations and owners, and an actionable roadmap of next steps — reviewed by a person before it's sent.
- Scored risk register (likelihood × impact) with mitigations
- Actionable roadmap: the surveys and assessments to commission next
- Human-checked before delivery — no raw AI output
The Precedent Data Universe
Aggregating Ireland's most critical planning & environmental datasets.
Why Precedent exists
Irish planning data is public, but it isn't usable. Decisions sit in scattered portals, development plans run to 500 pages, and the refusal two doors down that sinks your application is buried in a PDF nobody reads until it's too late.
I built Precedent to close that gap: one report that pulls together the precedents, zoning, and environmental constraints for a specific site, grounded in the official registries listed above. Every report is checked by a person before it's sent, and you only pay after you've received it — if the data is public, the risk of looking at it shouldn't be yours.

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 site intelligence engine 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:
- 209,000+ Planning Case Details
- Council & ABP Decision Reports
- NPWS Ecological Boundaries
- OPW Flood Risk Zones (CFRAMS)
- Record of Protected Structures
- GeoHive National Land Use (GZT)
- GSI Subsoil & Peat Mapping (50k)
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.
