What’s Being Built Near You
Every application before the Central Planning Authority, mapped: what’s proposed, what it costs, who objected, and what the Authority decided.
The Daily.ky Planning Applications Map tracks every application on the Central Planning Authority’s public agendas from January 2025 onward, parsed daily from the CPA’s own agenda and minutes PDFs on planning.ky and mapped. Currently tracked: 1,012 applications, 710 approved, 29 refused, 188 adjourned and 80 awaiting a decision; the trailing-12-month approval rate is 96%. The next meeting on 2026-11-11 carries 35 applications with an estimated construction value of CI$397,563,199. Each application shows what is proposed, where, the estimated cost, the zoning, whether neighbours objected, the planning department’s recommendation, and the Authority’s decision with its conditions.
Method: applications are parsed from the published PDFs and joined by planning reference across agendas and minutes; statuses follow the Authority’s own resolution language (grant, refuse, adjourn, modify, withdraw). Pin locations are approximate. Applicant names appear exactly as printed in the public agenda; the map deliberately offers no search by applicant name, and removal requests are honoured (contact info@daily.ky quoting the planning reference). The dataset is published as CSV at planning-applications.csv with no applicant names. Source: Central Planning Authority agendas and minutes, planning.ky.
Frequently Asked Questions: Cayman Islands
Where does the planning applications data come from?
From the Central Planning Authority's own published agendas and minutes on planning.ky, collected and parsed every morning. Agendas list what is being applied for, where, and at what estimated cost; minutes record what the Authority decided. Every application card links to the source PDF.
How accurate are the pins?
Pins are placed from the location details published in each planning agenda, so they may not sit exactly on the site. Treat a pin as a guide to the area; the agenda linked on each card has the full description.
What do approved with conditions, adjourned and refused mean?
Approved means planning permission was granted, almost always subject to numbered conditions such as permits and completion certificates; the card shows how many. Refused means permission was denied for stated reasons. Adjourned means the Authority deferred the decision, often to request revised plans or a meeting with the applicant; the application returns on a later agenda.
How do I object to a planning application?
Neighbouring landowners within the notification radius are notified directly by the Department of Planning and can lodge objections within the stated window. If you believe you should have been notified about an application near you, contact the Department of Planning (planning.ky) quoting the planning reference shown on the card.
Can I get alerts for planning applications in my district?
Not yet. District alerts are planned once the daily collection has run reliably for a while. The map's district filter and the fortnightly meeting summaries cover the same ground in the meantime.
