WQ.179/2024
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT BY DEPUTY H.L. JEUNE OF ST. JOHN, ST. LAWRENCE AND TRINITY
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON TUESDAY 7th MAY 2024 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON WEDNESDAY 15th MAY 2024
Question
“Will the Minister provide details on how many planning application permits for new dwellings have been issued where building works have not commenced, and how many permits exist for works that have started but not been completed, and when such permits expire?”
Answer
The net increase in new dwellings in 2022 was 289, in 2023 it was 615 as reported in the Review of Planning Services (2023) Improvement Plan – 4th Quarter Update.
In the first quarter 2024, 281 new dwellings have received planning consent. Of these 230 are yet to have a Building Byelaws commencement notification issued. 71 new dwellings have a completion certificate issued under Building Byelaws.
On lawful commencement the planning decision notice is in perpetuity and will not expire.
For past years there are inconsistencies in the data which mean that the final figures cannot be reliably collated in the time available for the response to this written question.
