Zoning evaluated against the point

FINGAL_DP_OWN · — – —

RS - Residential: Ensure that any new development in existing areas would have a minimal impact on and enhance existing residential amenity.

R2 — Existing residential the fingal development plan 2023 2029 · 5 Apr 2023 – 5 Apr 2029

PPR addresses are geocoded, not surveyed — a sale's position is as good as its address match (`rooftop_n` says how many are address-accurate). Beds, floor area, BER and asking price come from the matched daft.ie advertisement, not from the Register, and only where a match was found (`enriched_n`).
