One year after the introduction of the Section 28 Guidelines measure, my Department has undertaken a review of the planning measures introduced.

In summary by 18 May 2022, this condition had been applied to a combined total of 15,883 residential units.  This included a total of 7,988 house and duplex units across 23 Strategic Housing Development planning permissions approved by An Bord Pleanála’s and7,895 residential units in applications approved by 23 local authorities.  The condition was not applied by the remaining eight local authorities.

I will arrange for details of the number of houses and duplex units covered by planning approvals to which the planning condition prohibiting multiple sales applied to be circulated with the official record.

My Department will undertake a further review of the application of the conditions in Q4 of this year.
