Zoning Map Viewer Upgrade

The Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage has announced a significant upgrade to Myplan.ie’s Zoning Map Viewer, a crucial digital resource for the Irish construction and property development sectors. This enhancement integrates the most current zoning data derived from recently adopted city and county development plans, offering unparalleled precision for strategic planning and site assessment. While the application's underlying technology has been robustly modernised, ensuring enhanced stability and performance, users will find the familiar interface and core functionalities largely retained. This continuity minimises disruption while providing access to refreshed geographical information critical for project feasibility studies, regulatory compliance, and risk management across Ireland. A key operational consideration for professional users is the migration of the core zoning data web service to new infrastructure at services.arcgis.com. Construction firms and consultancies leveraging automated data harvesting for GIS analysis or internal planning tools must promptly update their system configurations to ensure uninterrupted access to this vital intelligence. The Department underscores the data's public domain status, allowing commercial utilisation under stipulated conditions, fostering a transparent environment for leveraging government data in commercial ventures. This strategic upgrade underpins more informed investment decisions and streamlined development programmes. Read More
