Central Statistics Office (CSO) figures show the number of dwelling units granted planning in 2023 rose to 41,225 units
The number of planning permissions granted for new homes last year jumped by more than a fifth, with apartment units accounting for more than half the total.
The number of houses granted planning permission increased by 13 per cent to 19,738 while apartment permissions rose by 28.5 per cent to 21,487 units. In terms of house units granted planning permission in 2023, Dublin accounted for the largest number of houses with 4,776 units followed by Cork with 2,676 units and Meath with 1,288 units .
The latest planning data come in the wake of BNP Paribas data for the construction sector here, which pointed to a slump in residential activity in February. The head of research at BNP Paribas Real Estate Ireland, John McCartney, said the rapid rise in home completions could “stall a bit in 2024″ putting the Government’s target for the year “at risk”.
