Evidence maturity

What this site brief can substantiate today

Each section reports its own coverage, per county. “Not yet covered” means the source dataset is not loaded for this local authority, so the brief draws no conclusion there and says where to check — it never reads as “no constraint found”.

Applications tied to the site

Partial coverage

5 register records are within the point-match tolerance; a parcel boundary is needed to treat this as exact.

5 matched

Zoning and settlement

Not yet covered

No zoning and settlement layer is loaded for Donegal County Council; this brief draws on decision history instead and makes no mapped-constraint claim.

Rural-housing policy

Confirmed coverage

One current citation from the Donegal County Council development plan, with section, page and source URL.

1 matched

Flood, heritage, ecology and archaeology

Partial coverage

2 of 4 layers are loaded for Donegal County Council and were intersected with the site; flood and built heritage are not loaded and no conclusion is drawn for them.
