Written answers

Part V of the Planning and Development Act 2000, as amended, requires that every planning permission to which the Part applies contains a condition that a Part V agreement be entered into between the developer and the planning authority for the transfer of land or units to the planning authority for the provision of social and affordable housing. When submitting a planning application, developers must specify how they intend to comply with these obligations.

My Department publishes statistical data in relation to Part V output on the Department web site. The latest data is accurate to end 2019 can be found at the following link: https://www.housing.gov.ie/housing/statistics/affordable-housing/affordable-housing-and-part-v-statistics

Additional Part V data relating to delivery to end Q4 2019 is available at the following link: https://www.housing.gov.ie/housing/social-housing/social-and-affordble/overall-social-housing-provision
