Yours faithfully, __________________________ ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER 25/60383 Margaret Keenan Mulladuff, Smithborough, Co. Monaghan ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 1. a) Planning Authority notes the temporary nature and appearance of the residential accommodation proposed. As per Section 15.10.5 ‘Temporary Residential Accommodation’ of the Monaghan County Development Plan 2025-2031, temporary residential accommodation may be acceptable where it facilitates site-specific, exceptional and/or personal circumstances, for example, where a permanent dwelling is being constructed on the same site or a site-specific need has been clearly demonstrated. The Development Plan also notes that planning permission shall not be granted for the permanent retention of this accommodation type. Having regard to same, the applicant is requested to provide additional information to demonstrate how the proposed development complies with aforementioned Section 15.10.5 ‘Temporary Residential Accommodation’ and associated policy TRAP 1 of the Monaghan County Development Plan 2025- 2031. b) Subject to item (a) above, the applicant is requested to submit the following details in accordance with Article 35 of the Planning and Development Regulations 2001 (as amended): i. Revise the site notice indicating ‘Significant Further Information/Revised Plans’, as appropriate and revise the development description to include reference to the temporary nature of the development proposed. ii. Erect revised site notice on site. iii. Publish a revised press notice indicating ‘Significant Further Information/Revised Plans’, as appropriate and include the revised development description as set out above. iv. Submit a copy of the revised site notice and revised press notice to the Planning XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXiAuthority. 2. Proposals for dwellings in rural areas are required to comply with Section 15.9.2 ‘Site Selection and Design Guidelines’ and Table 15.3.3 ‘Guidelines for Siting and Designing a Rural House in the Vernacular Style’ of the Monaghan County Development Plan (MCDP) 2025- 2031. Having regard to same, the Planning Authority has concerns with the design and appearance of the development proposed, which if permitted, set an undesirable precedent for similar rural dwelling designs. In particular, the following is noted; a) Design guidelines stipulate that dwellings should have traditional pitched gables and roof pitches should normally be 35 to 40-degree pitch, except where the gable depth is below 7.5m, where a 45-degree pitch is acceptable. In this regard, the Planning Authority has concerns with the shallow formation and pitch of the proposed roof structure. b) Design guidelines stipulate that materials and finishes should be traditional to the area and in keeping with the character of the local landscape, unless the material proposed is matching that of the locality. In this regard, the Planning Authority considers that the proposed upvc cladding finish to the external walls and proposed bituminous felt roof finish are inappropriate in this context. The applicant is therefore requested to provide amended details/drawings to address the above concerns. 3. A third-party submission has been received with respect to the development proposed. The applicant is invited to review the content of same and respond to the issues raised. The planner dealing with this application is Brian McGeary
