Construction activity
How many granted permissions in Laois County Council went on to actually break ground, drawn from national Building Control commencement and completion notices.
Methodology: commencement and completion notices are matched to planning applications by authority and reference number. Match coverage is partial, so the commencement rate is a floor — real activity is at least this high. Source: National Building Control Management System (NBCO), 2014–present.
