Seven strategic housing development (SHD) applications, involving almost 2,000 housing units, have been submitted to An Bord Pleanála for the Clane-Maynooth Municipal District so far this year, a public meeting has been told.
SHD’s are larger house planning applications which go directly to BordPleanala and on which the county council does not make the decision.
They involve 1,890 units in the Clane-Maynooth district, alone, of which 59% are still being considered.
Almost a quarter (22%) have been refused by the Bord Pleanala and 18% have been granted so far.
