According to the Central Statistics Office 157 – or 68% of approvals – were in the north of the county.

The remaining 73 were in South Tipp.

Non-residential properties accounted for 83 planning permissions granted in the county between January 1st and the end of March while there were 53 dwelling units approved.

35 of the new dwellings were in North Tipperary while 21 were given the green light in South Tipp.

Extensions to existing buildings or dwellings accounted for almost 1 in 3 planning permissions throughout the county.
