242. To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, and Local Government the number of planning applications for the development of social housing by local authorities and approved housing bodies in each of the years 2010 to 2017 and to date in 2018, in tabular form. [49915/18]

Overall planning statistics are collated and available on my Department’s website at this link
It is not possible to extract specific Approved Housing Body (AHB) applications from this data.
In most cases Local Authorities use the Part 8 process for Local Authority own development, which is not a planning application, and data on Part 8 cases is not collated in the planning statistics as these applications are a matter for each relevant Local Authority.
Construction projects listed in the Social Housing Construction Status Report include projects which are both within and outside the Part 8 process. Non-part 8 projects include those being advanced by Approved Housing Bodies and projects by private developers that are being secured on a turn-key basis by local authorities.
The latest Construction status report, which relates to the position at end Q2 2018, is available at the following link:
