ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
1.
Section 15.27 of the Development Plan states that development proposals should achieve a
set-back of 18m on county roads. Related to this and noting the constrained nature of the
site, the Planning Authority have concerns that a dwelling on the site would have a cramped
appearance and be contrary to the surrounding rural character and pattern of development.
The applicant is invited to comment on these concerns.
2.
The Planning Authority notes that the applicant seeks to create a new access onto the public
road to serve the proposed development. Submitted plans do not provide for required
visibility splays. In this regard, the applicant is requested to submit:
a) A revised site layout plan (1:500 scale) indicating how a clear and unobstructed
visibility splays of 70 metres can be achieved at the proposed entry/exit point onto the
Local Secondary Road. The required visibility splays should be provided from a point in
the centre of the entrance, 2.4 metres from the road edge at a height of 1.05 metre to
2.0 metres above ground level. Sight distances to be measures to the nearest road
edge in both directions. The submitted revised site layout plan should demonstrate all
necessary site work, including the extent of any front boundary hedge and trees which
would be required to be removed/trimmed, re-grading of side banks etc to achieve
the required sight distances. The road edge boundaries should be clearly delineated.
b) Where the sight distances are not achievable within the applicant’s ownership, the
applicant must submit legal agreements with adjoining landowners giving their
consent for all necessary works to facilitate the required 70m sight distances, including
removal/trimming of hedgerow/hedges, re-grading of side banks etc. The Applicant
should note that legal agreements must be submitted using the Appendix 13 template
as contained in the Monaghan County Development Plan 2025-2031.
3.
The Monaghan County Development Plan 2025-2031 references 0.2ha as being the
appropriate size for rural application sites with individual waste water treatment systems. It is
considered that owing to the size, configuration and topographical characteristics of the site, it
is unsuitable for the installation of an on-site Domestic Waste Water Treatment System.
