Planning Application Reference Number 2660045
Mr. Michael Courtney, Cornasleeve and Cormoy, Carrickmacross, Co. Monaghan.
Mr. Michael Courtney intends to apply for planning permission for construction of an
agricultural entrance onto the existing public road to comprise of entrance piers,
fencing and lay-by area, completion of all associated and ancillary
To whom it may concern,
I Adrian Kerley refer to the above planning application and wish to make the
following objections in relation to the proposed development.
The proposed development includes the creation of a new entrance located within
approximately 50 metres of an existing farm entrance. This section of road is already
served by multiple access points, including two additional entrances in close
proximity, one of which is directly opposite the proposed new entrance. The
cumulative effect of these entrances significantly increases the risk of traffic conflict
in this area.
Crucially, the proposed entrance is situated on a dangerous bend where visibility for
approaching traffic is already restricted. The introduction of an additional access
point at this location would further compromise sightlines and reaction times for road
users.
The development would also involve frequent use by heavy farm machinery and
HGVs entering and exiting the site. The presence of slow -moving and large vehicles
at this bend presents a substantial hazard to all road users, including motorists,
cyclists, and pedestrians. The likelihood of sudden vehicle movements combined
with limited visibility creates an unacceptable level of risk.
Given the existing road layout and the number of entrances already in operation, the
addition of another access point at this location would make this stretch of road
significantly more dangerous. It is reasonable to conclude that this proposal would
increase the potential for accidents and negatively impact the safety of all who use
the road.
On the bases of the above I trust my concerns will be taken into consideration, prior
to a decision being reached on this planning application.
Mise le meas,
Adrian Kerley
