Largest Residential Applications, Last Two Years

Applications for 20 or more homes received since 21 September 2024, largest first, where the number of homes can be read from the register. Some applications do not state it in a form that can be read, so the list is not complete; a scheme refused and lodged again appears twice. No applicant is named.

Wastewater Capacity

Of the 91 settlements in Tipperary on the Uisce Éireann wastewater capacity register, 7 are shown red, 6 amber and 78 green (register as retrieved 15 September 2026). Uisce Éireann shows a red settlement as having no capacity available for new connections. A scheme there depends on a planned upgrade or, for a small discharge of up to 150 population equivalent (about 40 homes), the developer-led route in circular NSP 01/2026.

How these figures are made. Tipperary County Council records an application without a recorded outcome as "N/A" in the national register: 28.9% of applications received in 2023 to 2025. These are left out of the grant rate, which uses only applications granted or refused. Invalidations are not recorded by this authority's system and are not compared between authorities. Register data to 21 September 2026; a recent application may take some weeks to appear. Completions are the CSO's quarterly series by local authority; commencements are the CSO's monthly series of commencement notices. The comparison table sets every authority side by side.
