More than 70,000 units awaiting planning decision through An Bord Pleanála or the courts, equating to nearly two years’ supply
Conor O’Connell, director of housing, planning and development with the CIF, told the committee that the CIF estimated – following a trawl of the ABP and High Court websites – that 98 separate Strategic Housing Development applications for residential developments are subject to judicial review, totalling 32,000 units and approximately 1,800 student bed spaces. ]
There was consensus among the various groups as to the need to swiftly and comprehensively resource ABP to deal with the current backlog of cases, although views differed over statutory timeframes in which planning decisions should be dealt with by ABP. “Unless it [ABP] has the resources to deal with the complexity and volume of cases coming through, we are still going to have a problem.”Wind Energy Ireland said a timeframe of 20 to 30 weeks should be achievable when it came to decisions regarding wind projects, but it stressed the urgent need to resource ABP if Ireland is to meet its 2030 decarbonisation targets.
