Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government (Deputy Jan O'Sullivan)

Data from individual local authorities on the number of site resolution plans are not held in my Department on an on-going basis. At the time of the publication of the 2012 National Housing Survey 136 developments had site resolution plans completed with a further 75 in the process of being completed. A further 770 SRP’s had been requested or initiated by the relevant local authority while 523 locations were being resolved through developer/funder or receivership led initiatives.
