Monaghan Dear Sir/Madam, I refer to your correspondence received 4th February 2026 requesting comments from the Agency on the planning application and Environmental Impact Assessment Report (EIAR) for the above referenced development. In accordance with Section 87(1F) of the EPA Act 1992 as amended (hereafter referred to as the EPA Act), the Agency makes the below observations. The development proposed may require a licence under Class 11.4 of the EPA Act. The Agency has not received a licence application relating to the development described above. It is noted that the planning application was accompanied by an EIAR. Should the Agency receive a licence application for the development, the applicant will be required to submit the associated EIAR to the Agency as part of the licence application. The EIAR will be considered and assessed by the Agency and the Agency shall ensure that before the licence is granted, the licence application will be made subject to an Environmental Impact Assessment as respects the matters that come within the functions of the Agency and in accordance with Section 83(2A) and Section 87(1G)(a) of the EPA Act. In addition, consultation on the licence application and EIAR will be carried out in accordance with Section 87 (1B) to (1H) of the EPA Act as appropriate. All observations from the planning authority will be taken into account as part of the Agency’s assessment and before making a decision in relation to the licence application. Please also note that you will be requested to provide the documentation relating to the EIA you have carried out to the Agency under Section 173A(4) of the Planning and Development Act 2000 as amended. Planning Section Monaghan County Council 2660018 Submitted via Planning Portal RECEIVED: 27/02/2026 Should a licence application be received by the Agency all matters to do with emissions to the environment from the activities proposed, the licence application documentation and EIAR will be considered and assessed by the Agency. Where the Agency is of the opinion that the activities, as proposed, cannot be carried on, or cannot be effectively regulated under a licence then the Agency cannot grant a licence for such an activity. Should the Agency decide to grant a licence in respect of the activity, as proposed, it will incorporate conditions that will ensure that appropriate National and EU standards are applied, and that Best Available Techniques (BAT) will be used in the carrying on of the activities. Finally, please note that in accordance with Section 87(1D)(d) of the EPA Act, the Agency cannot issue a Proposed Determination on a licence application which addresses the development above until a planning decision has been made.
