Few people seem to realise that Sligo County Council have made it quite easy for people in Strandhill to view the fine detail of planning applications online.

The link is pretty obvious from their home page – “View Panning Register”. Searches can be performed by planning number, name and address. All applications and the subsequent submissions are scanned to be made available online, and this appears to happen within days of their receipt of materials.

However, the document viewer which is used to view these scanned images – is an ActiveX control – and will only work in Internet Explorer. Even then – I have heard a number of people remark “I checked the county council website, and the documents aren’t there”. Probably not the case…

Internet Explorer will complain about the installation of the activex control, because of typical security settings. The screencast below – hosted on YouTube – will walk you through the process; it’s pretty straightforward.

    This isn’t strictly true – you can download DJVU for Safari if you want to look at Sligo Planning on a Mac.

    Ok. The process above details the download for Internet Explorer. It’s good to know that it also works for Safari
