Dataset description

Planning Applications details and spatial data. The Planning applications data are extracted from the APAS Planning system and hold details on the progress of a planning application and it's spatial component where applicable. Output data are provided in the following formats: - ESRI shapefile format (DLR_PlanningAppsPoints.*; DLR_PlanningAppsLines.*; DLR_PlanningAppsPolygons.*, DLR_PlanningAppsNull.*) in ITM projection. These output files provide site outlines. The DLR_PlanningAppsNull.* lists applications which have no spatial component. NB: Shp files have a limit on their field sizes which will result in loss of some attribute data.' Output file also provided in csv format. This file (DLR_PlanningApps_csv.csv) provides Lat/Long and ITM co-ordinates. This point data broadly represents the Planning application site however, does not represent it's outline, extent or central location. Where applications have no spatial component, the Lat/Long and ITM_East/ITM_North fields are populated by Null. The data files comprise some or all of the following attribute fields:'Plan_Ref (REG_REF): Reference number'County: Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown'Plan_Auth (Planning Authority): Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council Reg_Date (RGNDAT): Date application is registered by Planning Authority. Descrptn (LONG_PROPOSAL): Description of proposed development'Location: Application location.'Stage: Registered Application, Decision Made, Application under Appeal, Appeal Decided, etc.'Decision: Declare Application Invalid, Grant Permission, Grant Permission for Retention, Refuse Permission, Request Additional Information, etc.'App_Dec (Appeal Decision): Appeal decision Dec_Date (DECDAT): Date of planning authority decision'More_Info: This provides a url on the DLR website, which contains more information. 'Lat/Long : Latitude and Longitude of a point situated within the Planning application site. 'ITM_East/ ITM_North: ITM coordinates of a point situated within the Planning application site. ' Notes: This spatial data was originally captured in a GIS application and in Irish Grid Projection and has subsequently been converted to a variety of output formats and reprojected to ITM Projection and to Lat/Long. This may account for some discrepancies which may occur when overlain with other data. This data is optimally viewed at a scale of 1:1000. Some applications made may not have a spatial component for reasons such as invalid application or the spatial component has not yet been mapped. Data is provided for the last 7 years.

Questions before production use

Practical answers on evaluation, licensing, freshness, versioning and support.

api.store is built and operated by Apitalks s.r.o. Company details and a direct contact path are linked in the footer for vendor checks and procurement review.
Yes. Selected APIs include a free API quota, so your team can validate coverage, freshness, response shape and workflow fit before asking for a production plan.
Often yes, but usage rights depend on the source license and dataset. We surface source, license and update metadata where available, and can help review terms before a production integration.
Maintained APIs include update metadata where available. For production integrations, we can add history, monitoring and push updates so changes are easier to detect and act on.
Production APIs can add SLA, stable identifiers, versioning support, history, push updates and direct support around the data your product or AI workflow depends on.
