How these figures are made. The grant rate is the share of applications granted out of those granted or refused, for applications received in 2023 to 2025; it matches the definition behind the Office of the Planning Regulator's published national rate. Applications with no recorded outcome, invalid applications and withdrawals are left out, because the authorities' systems record them differently: the four Dublin authorities publish invalidations, the other 27 do not, so invalidation rates are not compared. Completions are the CSO's quarterly series by local authority; commencements are the CSO's monthly series of commencement notices.
