The Department of Housing has granted An Bord Pleanála permission to shut down its Strategic Housing Division
An Bord Pleanála has dissolved its Strategic Housing Division, the unit within the planning body that oversaw the controversial fast-track housing scheme.
In 2017, the division was set up to process Strategic Housing Development applications. The SHD system was devised to help speed up housing construction. It allowed developers to apply straight to An Bord Pleanála with large-scale applications and avoid county council planning systems.
