Planning applications granted in first three months of 2023 up 37.8%

The number of planning permission applications granted for houses and apartments increased by 37.8% in the first quarter of the year compared with the same period of 2022.

That’s according to new data released by the Central Statistics Office (CSO), which shows there were 11,659 dwelling units approved across the Republic of Ireland in Q1 2023 compared with 8,463 in the first three months of last year.

The latest figures represent something of a rebound in planning permissions being granted after applications in the final three months of 2022 had fallen 43.5% from 13,450 in Q4 2021 to 7,597 between October and December 2022.

In the first quarter of this year housing units accounted for 53% (6,146) of all units approved, with apartments making up the remaining 47% (5,513).

The number of houses granted planning permission rose by 31% on an annual basis to 6,146 housing units, while apartment approvals rose by 46% to 5,513 units.

There was also an annual rise of more than 81% in the number of multi-development houses receiving planning permission, compared with a decrease of almost 32% in one-off houses.

Across the four local authorities of Dublin, planning permission was granted for 4,637 apartments in Q1 2023, accounting for more than 84% of all apartments granted planning permission in the state between January and March of this year.

More than half (53.4%) of all dwelling units granted planning permission in the state in Q1 2023 were in the Fingal County Council local authority area, with 4,031 apartment units and 2,193 houses.

During the same period, the West Region (Galway, Mayo, and Roscommon) recorded the lowest number of apartment units (17) granted planning permission.

Of the 6,042 planning permissions granted for all developments in Q1 2023, 1,734 were for new construction dwellings, 1,782 for other new constructions, 1,616 for extensions, and 910 permissions were for alterations and conversions.
