In line with the licence's requirement to indicate changes: the data shown on PlanWatch.ie is not the original dataset as published. After sourcing, we normalise field values, geocode locations, correct formatting, and enrich records with information from other sources listed on this page.

Supplementary application details, documents, and status updates are retrieved from the public ePlanning portals operated by Ireland's local authorities, including eplanning.ie and individual council planning systems.
