EirePlan — How it works
How it works
Everything about a site is already public.
It is just scattered.
Planning history, ground conditions, services and transport are all published — across 47 sources that were never built to talk to each other. We collect them, resolve them to one address, and keep the source attached to every figure.
- 01
Collect
Thirty-one planning registers, plus the national datasets for ground, water, services, transport and people. Each on its own schedule, each in its own shape.
- 02
Normalise
Into one record per application, with the same fields whatever the source register happened to call them — and resolved to the statutory authority, not the nearest one.
- 03
Go past the register
Open the documents the council published against each application: the planner's report, the conditions, the further-information letters, the objections.
- 04
Answer
Ask a question against a site and get the passage back, with the document and page it came from — or take the whole thing as a report, or over the API.
What we collect
Six layers, every one of them a public source with a licence. Nothing here is scraped from somewhere it should not be, and nothing is modelled where a real figure exists.
From thirty-one registers to one record
The step most of this industry stops at is the second one. Normalising register metadata is a solved problem; opening the file behind it is not, and it is the only way to answer why something was refused.
The pipeline, end to end
Registers in, one structured record out, and then the document behind it — with the condition pulled out verbatim and cited.

Read from the file
Every figure keeps its source
Nothing on screen is an estimate wearing a number's clothes. If we show it, we can tell you which dataset it came from and when we last read it.
Named, licensed, and listed
The full ledger of what we hold and where it comes from — because a planning argument built on a source you cannot cite is not an argument.
