Please Note: 4 copies of Additional Information to be submitted. In the case of Significantly Different Information, 6 copies of additional information to be submitted. Yours faithfully, __________________________ ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER 25/60419 Raymond Prunty 31 Knockcarrick, Mullaghduff (DED: Carrikaslane), Co. Monaghan ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Note: A pre-application consultation did not take place. You and/or your assigned agent may wish to liaise with Planning Section prior to the preparation and submission of this Further Information. The submission should take a coherent account of any issues that overlap/interlink. No inference is given in requesting this Further Information that planning permission will ultimately be forthcoming. 1. Policy RAP 1 of the County Development Plan 2025-2031 states that development which has the potential to detrimentally impact on the residential amenity of properties in the vicinity shall be resisted. The Planning Authority notes the proximity of the proposed new two-storey dwelling (house 31A) to the adjoining residential property to the west. Having regard to the scale and height of the proposed structure and the change from a detached to a semi-detached built form, further clarity is required to ensure that no unreasonable impact on residential amenity would arise. Accordingly, please submit the following: (a) A commensurate Sunlight/Daylight/Overshadowing Study showing impacts on the western neighbouring dwelling and garden at specific dates and times throughout the year. Same should focus on the rear windows and private amenity space of the adjoining dwelling. (b) Cross-sections through the proposed dwelling and the western neighbour’s dwelling showing height relationships, ground levels, floor levels, and separation distances. Sections should be taken on two lines, one through the closest points of the two buildings and one through the adjoining gardens. (c) A photomontage or a 3D massing model viewed from the western neighbour’s garden and from the estate road. These details should clearly demonstrate that the development would (i) not result in unacceptable loss of sunlight/daylight, and (ii) not unduly overbear upon the neighbouring property. 2. The small garage/shed located in the western corner of the site/proposed garden of house 31A is not accounted for by the application. In the interest of clarity and to allow for a fully informed decision, please: (a) Clarify the planning status of this structure. (b) Submit details of the date of erection, dimensions, and use of the structure. (c) Indicate whether it is intended to retain, remove, or regularise the structure as part of this application (including revised plans and documents where applicable). The applicant is advised that if it is proposed to retain this structure as part of this application, the development description is required to be amended accordingly. As this would be considered to be significant additional information under Article 35 of the Planning and Development Regulations 2001 (as amended), the applicant will be required to publish a revised newspaper notice and erect a revised site notice with the amended development description and submit copies of both to the planning authority. 3. To ensure the proposed parking arrangement is safe and functional, please submit a dimensioned drawing of the proposed parking/driveway layout demonstrating adequate driveway depth and width to allow vehicles to park and manoeuvre without overhanging the footpath, road, or neighbouring land. 4. It is noted that two utilities mini pillars and associated manhole covers are located in the area where it is proposed to provide the new driveway. The applicant is required to submit revised proposals indicating where it is proposed to relocate these items of utilities infrastructure and to submit written agreement from the owners of these utilities consenting to the relocation of these items. 5. It is further noted that there are no proposals included to alter the existing footpath along the frontage of the site to facilitate the additional driveway and that this area is located outside the red outline boundary of the development site. The applicant is required to extend the red outline of the site boundary to include this area and to provide details of the works proposed to alter the footpath. The applicant is also required to submit written agreement from the owner of the footpath consenting to the alterations. 6. The applicant is required to submit precise details of proposals of how it is proposed to tie in the foul and surface water connections for the proposed dwelling into the existing network. The planner dealing with this application is Ben Clerkin
