The site is located within the Blackwater (Monaghan)_030 waterbody which has been classified as
Good Status, with an WFD objective of Protect. The site is located on an area of low groundwater
vulnerability which is underlain by a locally important Aquifer.
An incomplete water protection plan checklist has been submitted; it should be noted this is the old
Water Protection Checklist Plan Checklist and not the updated version as per the new County
Development Plan 2025-2031.
Drinking water is a new connection to Tydavent Group Water Scheme.
Wastewater treatments proposals are to connect to the public sewer. A pre-connection enquiry has
been acknowledged by Uisce Eireann. The applicant would be able to connect to the public sewer. A
connected application should be submitted and granted prior to development.
Surface water to discharge via a soakpit. 6 car parking spaces are to be provided. No further details
have been submitted.
I recommend that the following additional information is requested from the applicant:

& use the new Water Protection Checklist Plan as per the new County Development Plan 2025-
2031.
• Submit proposals for the storm water drainage system to take account of the Department of
Housing, Local Government and Heritage guidance document on Nature-based solutions for the
management of rainwater and surface water run-off in urban areas. Proposal should include
design details for a petrol interceptor for the car park area.
• Submit a revised site layout plan clearly showing the following:
o the storm water drainage system (in blue) and foul drainage (in red)
o location of interceptor and/or any nature-based solutions
