The introduction of Large Residential Developments (LRD) in late 2022 has represented a key change in the planning landscape of the country. Large Scale Residential Developments (LRDs) are applications that pertain to the planning and development of significant residential projects in Ireland. These applications are part of the planning process regulated by local authorities and national planning policies. LRDs are essentially defined as a development comprising of 100 or more housing units or Student Accommodation units that includes 200 or more bedspaces or a combination of both.

Superseding Strategic Housing Developments (SHDs), LRDs have provided greater transparency, clarity in the process, an increased housing supply and have managed to create greater diversity in the market. LRDs have also brought much needed affordability to the market, establishing planned communities and improvements to the infrastructure network across the country.
