ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
1.
Policy AEDP 1 advises that alterations and extensions to existing dwellings, is, in principle, an
acceptable form of development. Proposals to alter or extend a dwelling will be considered on their
individual merits, with the main considerations being that of design and the degree of impact on
existing and adjoining properties. There is concern that the scale, height and proportion of the
extensions are contrary to Development Plan Policy and Guidance and overwhelm the main
dwelling. In this regard, the applicant is requested to submit a further and/or revised details
demonstrating that the proposal acceptably complies with the requirements of Policy AEDP 1 and
Section 15.10.1 of the Monaghan County Development Plan 2025-2031, having particular regard to
the following criteria;
a) The extension shall be ancillary/subordinate to the main dwelling and be located to the rear
and/or side. An exception to this may be where the existing dwelling is so small that any
extension will not meet the needs of the occupants or where the entire house is being
remodelled as part of a comprehensive re -design.
b) The form, proportion, heights, fenestration, design and materials shall be in keeping with
those of the main dwelling.
c) Contemporary designed extensions shall not detract from the visual amenities of the main
dwelling.

Policy ILAP 1 and Section 15.10.3 'Independent living accommodation for a family member' of
Monaghan County Development Plan 2025-2031 advises that a development proposal will only be
acceptable where it provides a modest scale of accommodation (for example, an immediate relative
who may need to live in close proximity to their family), which usually involves a proposal to convert
and/or extend an existing house, or the conversion and/or extension of an existing
garage/outbuilding within the curtilage of a dwelling.
In this regard, the applicant is requested to;
a) Submit documentary evidence which supports the need for the accommodation and details the
relationship between the occupant(s) of the main dwelling house and the proposed occupant(s)
of the independent living accommodation.
b) Submit revised Floor Plans of the proposed Independent Living Accommodation, clearly
labelling the space as its intended use and ensuring the accommodation does not exceed a gross
floor area of 70sqm.
c) Submit revised elevations, ensuring that a separate doorway access is not proposed on the front
elevation of the main dwelling.
