Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 19 July 2012
516 Deputy Niall Collins asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if he will provide a breakdown of the number of applications being made for the extension of planning permission; the number thereof that have been granted; and the period of extension granted per local authority since the enactment of the Planning and Development (Amendment) Act 2010 and specifically section 28 therein. [36423/12]
View answerMy Department collates and publishes a wide range of housing and planning statistics that inform the preparation and evaluation of policy, and those data are available on my Department's website www.environ.ie. Data on the number of applications made under Section 28 of the Planning and Development (Amendment) Act 2010 and the numbers granted and refused are included within that range. Data on the period of extension granted are not collected. 2011 data are still being finalised and I would hope to publish them soon.
