Deputy Cian O'Callaghan asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the number of change of use planning applications for short-term lets received by each local authority since the beginning of 2019; the number of these that were granted permission, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [38765/23]
View answerLegislative reforms to regulate the short-term letting sector through the planning code, in areas designated as “rent pressure zones” (RPZs), were introduced under the Planning and Development Act 2000 (Exempted Development) (No. 2) Regulations 2019 which came into effect on 1 July 2019.
The information requested in relation to the number of planning applications for change of use to short term letting is provided in the table attached. My Department does not hold information in this regard prior to the introduction of the 2019 regulations.
