ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Note: It is recommended that you and/or your assigned agent liaise with Monaghan County council
Planning Section prior to the preparation and submission of this Further Information.
1. In the interest of visual amenity and appropriate design, please submit amended house plans
providing for the chimney centrally located on the ridge in line with Policy RSDP1 and Table
15.3 of the County Development Plan 2025-2031.
2. It is noted that the access to the proposed development is dependent on a right of way
located outside the red line site area. It is also noted that it is proposed to realign the access
point of this right of way onto the public road. The applicant is required to demonstrate they
have sufficient legal interest to use this right of way for the purposes of accessing a dwelling
house. The applicant is also required to provide from the landowner upon whose lands the
works are proposed and from all of those using the right of way, written consent agreeing to
the proposed realignment of the access point.
3. Having regard to the submitted plans and planning history of the adjoining sites, the Planning
Authority has concerns with both the accuracy of submitted access drawings, and the ability of
the applicant to achieve of the visibility splays on the ground.
Submit revised plans indicating how it is proposed to provide the required visibility splays of
70 metres in both directions from a point in the centre of the proposed access 2.4 metres from
the edge of the public road. The applicant is requested to clarify the accuracy of submitted
plans based on an up-to-date topographical survey of the entrance and areas required to
provide the visibility splays, existing boundaries of adjoining properties, and the road edge.
Where the provision of the required visibility splays involves works on third party lands, the
applicant is further required to submit a legal agreement between the applicant and the
relevant landowner(s) which is witnessed by a solicitor, consenting to the provision and
maintenance of the required visibility splays.
4. Section 15.22.8 of the Monaghan County Development Plan 2025-2031 states that
development should be restricted and/or limited in areas which are at risk of flooding, unless
it can be demonstrated that the proposed development has addressed the flooding concerns
which exist. The Office of Public Works (OPW) Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment (PFRA) maps
indicate that part of the application site is vulnerable to pluvial flooding events.
In this regard, the Applicant shall submit a Flood Risk Assessment for the proposed
development, completed by a competent professional with hydrological experience,
confirming that the development:
• will not be at risk of flooding
• will not exacerbate flooding in the immediate vicinity or wider area.
• will not obstruct or impede important flow paths
• will not result in residual risks to the area and/or development that cannot be
managed to an acceptable level.
The flood risk assessment shall also clearly demonstrate proposed management of any
residual risks.
