Speed. Efficiency. Data – All in One Place.

When it comes to planning, information is power but only if you can access it quickly, easily, and in one place. That’s where most people get stuck. Whether you’re an architect preparing for a client, a planner assessing site constraints, or a homeowner exploring what’s possible on your land  you need fast, clear answers. While planning data is technically “available,” it's scattered across local authority portals, PDF development plans, outdated map viewers, and national datasets that aren’t designed for practical use.

That’s where most people waste time hunting down zoning info from one map, environmental constraints from another, and trying to piece everything together into a single, usable view. At PrePlanning.ie, we believe there’s a better way.

With PrePlanning.ie, you can access a full planning site report built from over 80+ GIS data layers collated and ready in under a minute.

Such as:

• Zoning objectives.

• Natura sites, NHAs, SACs, SPAs.

• Protected structures and archaeology.

• Infrastructure access (water, wastewater, roads).

• Planning history and nearby developments.

• Landscape and visual sensitivities.

• Public transport coverage.

• National and regional constraints.

Pulling together planning data manually is entirely possible, but it’s far from efficient. You’d need to cross-check zoning maps against flood risk zones, overlay landscape character areas with protected views and transport corridors, manually search the planning register for nearby applications, and navigate through multiple development plans to interpret overlapping local policies. Then, after all that, you still have to compile everything into a coherent report for your client, planner, or design team. Each of these steps takes time, and when repeated across multiple sites, those hours quickly add up. With PrePlanning.ie, all of this is done automatically. Our system instantly pulls together over 80 GIS layers and datasets, presenting them in a structured report in under a minute. You save time, effort, and cost while significantly reducing the risk of missing critical constraints.

Planning delays are expensive. And making decisions based on partial or outdated information is risky. That’s why speed and accuracy are so important.

• For architects: Instantly assess feasibility before investing time in design
• For planning consultants: Save hours on site research and preliminary reports
• For individuals: Get clarity on what’s possible for your site, even before hiring a consultant
• For local authorities: Reduce incomplete or misinformed pre-planning submissions

If you’ve ever spent hours piecing together planning data from multiple sources, you’ll instantly see the value. With PrePlanning.ie, you can generate a full, professional site report in under a minute. Whether you're exploring a potential site, preparing a pre-planning enquiry, or just want to understand the constraints and opportunities of a location, our tool makes it effortless.
