Planning Wire · from the councils’ registers

Ireland’s biggest planning applications, as they happen

Solar farms, wind farms, battery plants, data centres, housing schemes of fifty homes or more, and large hotels: every one reported the moment it appears on the planning register of one of Ireland’s 31 local authorities, and again when the council decides it. Each story is written from the council’s own record, which is quoted in full on the page, so every figure can be checked.
