What these terms mean

Planning Permissions Granted

MHCLG's quarterly count of planning decisions granting permission for new dwellings, major and minor developments summed -- each decision counted once, not the number of dwelling units it covers. Source

Major and minor developments

MHCLG classifies a dwellings application as 'major' when it proposes 10 or more homes, and 'minor' when it proposes fewer than 10. This figure sums both, matching how Ireland's own planning permissions figure is not split by scheme size either.
