Homes granted planning permission per 1,000 residents compared with median sale price
Homes granted planning permission per 1,000 residents, rolling 4 quarters (CSO PxStat) vs. median sale price, Q2 2026 (Property Services Regulatory Authority — Residential Property Price Register). 26 areas, Pearson r = +0.48.
This is a pattern across areas, not a cause. It says nothing about any individual case.
- Counted as homes, not as permissions: This counts the homes covered by each planning permission, so a 100-apartment scheme counts as 100. Counted instead as permissions (one each, whatever their size), the pattern reverses: counties with many one-off rural houses come out on top. How supply is measured changes what this comparison shows.
- Homes permitted, not homes built: This counts homes granted planning permission, not homes finished. Not every permission is built, and the ones that are can take years.
