A count for the whole town says how busy the planning office is. What matters for a purchase is the 300 m around the house: the field behind it, the corner site, the neighbour’s attic conversion. That is what the report lists, with the decision and the appeal status for each file.
What to check before you bid
Three things. First, permissions granted but not yet built near the house: the register shows them, the street does not. Second, whether the house itself has a planning file: an extension without permission is a title problem your solicitor has to fix before closing. Third, the zoning in the development plan for the fields around it. The report covers all three for one Eircode.

Questions people ask
- How do I check planning applications near a house in Saggart?
- The national planning register (nationalplanningapplications.ie) maps every application since about 2010. Search the address, then look at the streets around it, not only the plot. Applications within 300 m are the ones that change your view, your light and your parking. The report lists them for the exact Eircode with status and decision.
- Is a lot being built in Saggart?
- 168 applications were lodged within 2 km of the town centre in the last three years, 8 of them for ten or more homes (1,108 units in total). That is an active pipeline: expect construction traffic and new estates on the edge of town.
- Does a planning application nearby affect the price?
- A granted permission for a large scheme next door can cut what a house is worth and can also mean two years of noise. It can also raise prices if it brings a school or a shop. Read the description, the decision and the appeal status. The report gives you that for everything within 300 m.
