One search, all 31 councils
Search planning applications across all 31 councils
Every Irish local authority runs its own planning register, its own search box and its own file formats. PlanningLeads pulls all 31 into one place, so you search once, not thirty-one times, and see planning applications and commencement notices together, refreshed every week.
The old way
Thirty-one councils, thirty-one websites
None of Ireland's local authorities are wrong to run their own planning register. But searching all of them by hand, one at a time, is a full working day before you've found a single project.
31 different websites
Dublin City, Cork County, Galway City: every council runs its own planning register, with its own search box and its own quirks. None of them talk to each other.
No national search
There is no single government search across all 31 planning authorities. Find a project in Kerry, then start again from scratch for Clare.
A different format every time
Some portals return a searchable list. Others hand you a scanned PDF. None of them are built to be filtered by trade or sorted by value.
Updated on nobody's schedule
Each authority refreshes on its own timetable, some daily, some monthly. There is no single answer to what changed this week, across the whole country.
One search
The whole country, in one place
PlanningLeads assembles the public planning register from all 31 authorities into a single, weekly-refreshed search, so the whole country works like one council, not thirty-one.
One search box, all 31 authorities
Type an address, a developer name or a project type once. PlanningLeads checks every council's register at the same time, not one portal at a time.
Every authority, one format
Applications, decisions and commencement notices from all 31 councils, normalised into one consistent record, so Kerry compares to Kildare like for like.
Refreshed weekly, not quarterly
The whole country is checked on the same schedule, so nothing sits unseen for months in a council you weren't watching.
Filter to your county or trade
Narrow the national search to the counties you cover and the work you do, in one step instead of thirty-one.
Every council
Every authority, one click away
Jump straight to any of the 31 local authorities below for the live project count, or see the full breakdown, including pipeline value, on the counties page.
How it works
Three steps, not thirty-one
Search once
Type an address, a developer or a project type. We check the public planning register for all 31 councils at the same time, not one portal at a time.
See both stages
Every result is tagged: a live application, a decision, or a commencement notice already filed. Planning and commencements, in one feed.
Narrow it down
Jump to a county page for the full local picture, or filter to your trade to see only the work you actually chase.
