P a g e 1 | 1
Planning Application No. 25/60432
Previous Ref. No’s.
Applicant: Geda Construction Company Ltd
Address: Tully [DED: Monaghan Rural],, Monaghan, Co. Monaghan
Proposed Development: 49 Units
The application is for the development of 49 units and as such Part V is applicable.
10 no part V houses have been proposed, which is in excess of 20% and indicative costs have been
provided at this stage, which are not binding.
The Part V proposal is acceptable for compliance at this stage.
Some comments from the Housing department are noted below
1. The gardens in numbers 28-47 are stepped and have a retaining wall. Has adequate access to the top
level been considered
2. The back yards to houses 02-09 are accessed by an alleyway structure which contains a loop without
restriction. This area could be difficult to maintain and act as an area for antisocial behaviour. Could the
layout be changed leaving a particular house responsible for the access to its rear as opposed to this
shared access.
3. The green area behind houses 01-10. Is it open space or how is it to be finished and managed in the
future? Could it be reallocated in the back gardens to cut down on small pockets of public spaces. In the
current layout with the alleyways, this space could also aid the creation of antisocial areas.
If Planning Permission is to be granted it is recommended that a condition requiring compliance with
Part V is applied, this will assist Monaghan County Council in ensuring that houses are provided as
Social Housing as proposed. Where is it decided to grant permission for the development, it is essential
that the Part V condition comply with section 96(2) of the Act, as amended. It is recommended that the
planning condition should adhere closely to the wording of section 96(3) and state e.g.
“that the applicant, or any other person with an interest in the land to which the application relates shall,
prior to the lodgement of a commencement notice within the meaning of Part II of the Building Control
Regulations 1997, enter into an agreement with the planning authority under section 96 of the Planning
and Development Act 2000 with the planning authority, providing, in accordance with that section, for
the matters referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of subsection (3) of section 96” for the provision of social
housing.
