ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
1.
Policy RRDP 1 advises that the Council will encourage restoration or adaption over the
demolition of vernacular buildings. Proposals for the restoration of vernacular buildings and
dwellings shall be architecturally sensitive and reflective of the existing building. Furthermore,
Policy AEDP 1 advises that alterations and extensions to existing dwellings, is, in principle, an
acceptable form of development and that the form, proportion, heights, fenestration, design
and materials shall be in keeping with those of the main dwelling.
There is concern that the expansive "curtain glazing" proposed on the rear elevation which
faces directly onto the public road, is not in keeping with the existing fenestration and
vernacular character of the existing dwelling and therefore is not considered to be
architecturally sensitive or reflective of the existing building.
In this regard, the applicant is requested to submit further and/or revised details
demonstrating that the proposal acceptably complies with the requirements of Policy RRDP 1
and Section 15.9.3, as well as Policy AEDP 1 and Section 15.10.1 of the Monaghan County
Development Plan 2025-2031.
2.
Policy RRDP 1 and Section 15.9.3 of Monaghan County Development Plan 2025-2031 advises
that where determined necessary by the Planning Authority, existing access arrangements
shall be improved in the interests of road safety. In this regard, it is noted that the visibility at
the current access point is considered to be poor, and the land either side of the access is
within the ownership of the applicant and their family. It is therefore considered that there
could be reasonable improvements made to visibility at the access point on lands within the
ownership of the applicant and their family.
In this regard, the applicant is requested to submit the following information;
a) Submit a revised site layout plan (1:500 scale) indicating how a clear and unobstructed
visibility splay of up to 50m can be achieved at the entry/exit point where the access
meets the Local Tertiary 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 to an object height of 0.26 metres to 2.0
metres above ground level in both directions. 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 the 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.
b) In the event where the sight distances are not achievable within the applicant's
ownership, the applicant should submit legal agreements with adjoining landowners
giving their consent for all necessary works to facilitate the required 120m sight
distances, including removal/trimming of hedgerow/hedges, re -grading of side banks
etc. The Applicant should note that legal agreements should be submitted using the
Appendix 13 template 'Form of Agreement in respect of forward and rear visibility' as
contained in the Monaghan County Development Plan 2025-2031.
