DLR Planning Applications

Planning Applications details and spatial data.

The Planning applications data are extracted from the APAS Planning system and hold details on the progress of a planning application and it's spatial component where applicable.  
Output data are provided in the following formats:                                                                                                                                       - ESRI shapefile format (DLR_PlanningAppsPoints.*; DLR_PlanningAppsLines.*; DLR_PlanningAppsPolygons.*, DLR_PlanningAppsNull.*) in ITM projection. These output files provide site outlines. The DLR_PlanningAppsNull.* lists applications which have no spatial component. NB: Shp files have a limit on their field sizes which will result in loss of some attribute data.'
Output file also provided in csv format. This file (DLR_PlanningApps_csv.csv) provides Lat/Long and ITM co-ordinates. This point data broadly represents the Planning application site however, does not represent it's outline, extent or central location. Where applications have no spatial component,  the Lat/Long and ITM_East/ITM_North fields are populated by Null.
The data files comprise some or all of the following attribute fields:'Plan_Ref (REG_REF):    Reference number'County: Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown'Plan_Auth (Planning Authority): Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Reg_Date (RGNDAT):  Date application is registered by Planning Authority.

This may account for some discrepancies which may occur when overlain with other data. This data is optimally viewed at a scale of 1:1000. 
Some applications made may not have a spatial component for reasons such as invalid application or the spatial component has not yet been mapped. 
Data is provided for the last 7 years.
