The granting of residential units has notably increased over the past 5 years, doubling in output since 2019. Commencement notices and residential delivery activity continued to increase post-2021. The trends for commencement notices and planning permissions granted are generally well-aligned over the last 3 years. This could be the result from a backlog of planning permissions granted but not commenced during the Covid period.
