Know what's being built near you
Planning applications are public, but nobody tells you when one is lodged next door. By the time most people hear about a development, the window to have a say has closed.
We watch the councils' own registers and email you what's new in the area you care about — the same week it is lodged, while there are still five weeks on the clock to make a submission.
Get alerted to new applications
Straight from the councils' own registers, the week they are lodged — while there is still time to make a submission.
Why it's not free
Because the alternative is worse. An ad-funded alert service has to sell your attention to the people building near you, and a free one has every reason to email you more often than you need. We would rather charge for the thing itself and send you nothing in a quiet week.
No ads in the emails, no data sold on, cancel in one click.

Where the data comes from
Every county, straight from the register its own council keeps: twenty-three through the shared ePlan system, and Cork, Dublin and Wexford through their councils' own planning portals. Both list applications the week they are received.
The national dataset published by the Department of Housing runs one to two weeks behind the councils, so we use it only to fill in behind — catching anything that slipped past while a council register was unreachable. More on our sources.
