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.
