The site is zoned "Existing Commercial" as per the Monaghan County Development Plan 2025-
2031. The Planning Authority have concern that the proposed development for residential use
would be contrary to the zoning objective pertaining to the site. The applicant is invited to
comment in this regard.
Having reviewed the Proposed Site Layout, the Planning Authority has concerns regarding that
no private amenity space has been provided for the proposed residential dwelling. In this
regard, the applicant is requested to submit revised plans to provide private amenity space for
the dwelling in accordance with Section 15.8.13 Private Open Space of Monaghan County
Development Plan 2025-2031.
As per Section 15.24 'Car Parking Standards' of the Monaghan County Development Plan
2025-2031, 'all development proposals shall be required to provide within the site, suitable
provision for servicing, parking and manoeuvring of vehicles associated with the proposal'.
Notwithstanding the submitted layout plan, the Planning Authority note that there may be
space to the front of the exiting building for sufficient car parking. In this regard, the applicant
is requested to submit a revised site layout plan showing appropriate car parking within the
application site boundaries.
Having reviewed the Proposed Floor plans and internal layout of the dwelling, the Planning
Authority has fundamental concerns regarding the appropriateness of the layout and scheme
design, particularly in relation to the bedroom window, which is to be inserted in an external
wall within c1.5m of the site boundary. The position of the proposed window may impact the
level of natural daylight entering the bedroom which would be regarded as a habitable room.
In this regard, the applicant is requested to submit revised plans and elevations to address the
concerns highlighted above.
