*Detailed information on Permissions for Houses and Apartments are not available for Q1 and Q2 2000.

The Planning Permissions series is published by the CSO and gives a quarterly breakdown of the number of planning permissions granted. Figures are published for each county and each planning authority. Only final grants of permission or approvals are covered, i.e. only works which involve construction.

The following permissions are excluded since they do not entail construction per se:

Changes of a technical and business nature as distinct from a building or structural nature;

Outline permission;

Retention of an existing building;

Changes to existing plan;

Bye-law permission;

Refusals — permissions subsequently granted on appeal by An Bord Pleanála are included.

The most recently published planning permissions data is for the second quarter of 2006.
