COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL
MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL
Monday, January 15, 2024
QUESTION NO. 18
QUESTION: Councillor J. Sinnott
To ask the manager to outline, if possible, the average time between the local authority approving planning permission for a new residential development and commencement of construction.
REPLY:
The table below sets out the number of months between planning approval and the date of the first commencement notice. The shorter gap in more recent years is because this is an average and not all planning approvals have been commenced. As permissions commence over time the average gap between approval and commencement will increase.
There are currently 295 extant permissions which have not commenced.
