WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
BY DEPUTY J. RENOUF OF ST. BRELADE
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 8th SEPTEMBER 2025 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 15th SEPTEMBER 2025
Question
"Will the Minister state, for each of the last 5 years (including 2025 to date, if available), the net increase in the number of both new and revised planning permits issued for the development of residential units, and will he further advise how many of those planning permits have been progressed?"
Answer
The net increase in new residential units granted permission in 2022-2025 is detailed below. The information is not held for 2021 and cannot be collated in the time available.
2022 = 289 granted permission
2023 = 615 granted permission
2024 = 307 granted permission
2025 = 41 granted permission (up to 12 September 2025), and a further 246 dwellings have been provisionally approved, subject to the finalisation of Planning Obligation Agreements.
In 2024, 871 new dwellings had a completion certificate issued under the Building Byelaws. The Department is currently designing reporting functionality for the newly introduced back-office system for Development and Land, and it was not possible to produce a reliable completion figure for 2025 in the time available.
