David Boyd lives in the adjacent property on the North side. We wish to register objections to the proposals on the following grounds. The site notice is dated 11/12/25 but it did not appear until 1/1/26. This has been confirmed by my client and another neighbour. The application involves land owned by my client. See attached land registry compliant map dated 13/08/2016 showing my clients lands. Also enclosed are confirmation by Monaghan County Council letter dated 06/Nov2017 photographic evidence of the subject site to be entered into the Derelict Site Register entry proposals. David Boyd has occupied the building including the rear garden since 1974. The proposed extension would have windows that directly look out onto my client's rear garden. The nature and size of the proposed extension would significantly overshadow my client's property and affect his privacy. The applicant's property has been in the ownership of the applicant for many years and the property has not been maintained and boundary issues with my client have not been attended to. This current application seems to be very similar to applications made in 2018 and in 2007. The process of making successive planning applications over the last 19 years is clearly only being made to avoid derelict site status, taxes and potential CPO proceedings. Documents enclosed Land Registry Compliant map prepared for David Boyd 13/08/2016 Derelict Sites Act Letter from Mary McGarvey accepting the attached drawing showing the site boundary of the application site.
