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.

Before you use these figures

• Unusually high in Q2 1979: This area's Q2 1979 figure is unusually high compared with what other areas reported for Q2 1979 — 218 against a typical figure (median) of about 32 across 239 other areas that period. No longer this dataset's latest period, so a look at just today's headline figure would not have caught it — flagged here from a check across the dataset's full history. Worth checking against the source before treating it as a straightforward trend.
• Latest figure: Q1 2026 — 3 quarters old: This dataset is published quarterly and the publisher hasn't released anything newer. Nothing is missing from this page.
