Majority of housing development proposals located in Dublin and commuter region, report finds
A new report by An Bord Pleanála has illustrated the regional imbalance of large housing, apartment and student accommodation development proposals, with the vast majority located in the Dublin and commuter region.
The planning authority has issued an update on the Strategic Housing Development (SHD) scheme. Since July 2017, applications for housing developments of more than 100 units and student accommodation of over 200 bed-spaces are made directly to An Bord Pleanála, bypassing local authorities in order to speed up the planning process to ease the pressure on the housing market.
