From scattered council files to a clear answer.
AreaCheck puts the planning record and other official data for any Irish address in one place, and explains what it means. Here is exactly how it works, start to finish.
Planning data is public, but it is written for planners, not people, and it sits apart from sold prices, radon, geology and census data. AreaCheck gathers the national planning record for all 31 local authorities, maps it beside those other layers, and turns it into a report you can read in minutes.
Search any Irish address.
Type an Eircode or address, no account needed. The map flies to it and shows every planning application from the last seven years, with a free snapshot of planning, radon, zoning and transport within 500m.
