684. Deputy Fergus O'Dowd asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if he will seek details from each individual local authority in respect of the percentage of rural one-off housing applications that have been refused, by county, local authority, over the years 2020, 2021, 2022 and to date in 2023, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerPlanning statistics are compiled by each planning authority on an annual basis for collation and publication on my Department’s website at the following link:
www.gov.ie/en/service/9e4ee-get-planning-statistics/.
The data collected relates to the total number of applications and decisions for all developments that require planning permission, broken down by year and planning authority.
However, granular data, in terms of the number of decisions in relation to the percentage of rural one-off housing applications that have been refused, is not specifically collected and consequently is not available in my Department. Such information may be sought directly from the relevant planning authority.
