Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government

The figure of between 50 and 100 housing developments referred to in the Question was based on indications from housing provider representative organisations that they had received approximately 75 enquiries relating to further extensions of the duration of planning permissions of the type addressed in the Planning and Development (Amendment) Act 2017. 

While my Department collates some summary data in relation to planning permissions at a local authority level and publishes this on the Department's website, the detailed information sought in respect of such developments is not available in my Department.
