National Planning Geospatial Data Hub

Ireland's Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, in collaboration with Tailte Éireann, has launched the National Planning Geospatial Data Hub, a significant digital initiative centralising comprehensive planning and development data for the Republic. Available via Myplan.ie since December 2024, this platform offers interactive maps and dashboards, aggregating critical information previously dispersed across various sources. For senior decision-makers in the construction sector, this hub represents a pivotal tool for strategic planning and operational efficiency. It provides unprecedented access to granular data on development activity, enabling more robust site selection, detailed feasibility studies, and enhanced risk assessment for prospective projects across Ireland. Leveraging this centralised repository can streamline due diligence processes and inform investment strategies by offering a clearer, data-driven understanding of regional development trends and regulatory landscapes. As public information, copyright of the Government of Ireland, the data is available for commercial use with appropriate attribution. This policy facilitates its integration into proprietary analytical frameworks, offering a distinct competitive advantage to firms adept at utilising geospatial intelligence for market analysis and project delivery. The hub signifies a governmental commitment to transparency and data-led urban planning, providing a foundational resource for navigating Ireland's evolving construction market. Read More
