Analysis of FINAL Dublin City Development Plan 2022-2028 - Volume 4 RPS.csv focused on the building-type composition of Dublin City Council's Record of Protected Structures (Volume 4). Counts come from the _Building_Types select column on each RPS entry. Each entry has exactly one type, so the categories are mutually exclusive and percentages sum to 100% across the full 8,533-entry register.

Why this analysis is worth doing

The RPS is published as a flat list of 8,533 addresses β€” useful as a statutory record, but hard to act on without a structured read of what's actually on it. Breaking the register down by building type turns it into a working evidence base for housing, vacancy, and regeneration policy:

Quantifies the residential reuse opportunity

Showing that β‰ˆ78% of protected structures are residential or part-residential reframes the RPS from a heritage constraint into a standing inventory of potentially reusable homes β€” directly relevant to vacancy, dereliction, and Georgian-townhouse conversion policy.

Sizes commercial vs. residential protection accurately

The new single-select layer cleanly separates Commercial premises, Business premises, Licensed premises, Shop, and Offices β€” so you can size pure commercial protection at 9.0% rather than the inflated number the legacy multi-tag layer suggested.
