Amharc ar fhreagra130. Deputy Joan Burton asked the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government the number of planning applications received by local authorities to change housing units to bed and breakfasts in the past year; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 129 and 130 together.
Planning statistics are submitted by planning authorities on an annual basis and are subsequently collated by my Department. Such statistics include information on the number of planning applications received and the number of applications which were granted or refused permission by each planning authority.
However, the detailed information sought in relation to the number of enforcement notices issued or action taken in particular cases by planning authorities, or the number of change of use planning applications received in relation to a particular class of development, is not available in my Department.
