Dear Catherine,
Please find herewith the relevant documents in response to requested Further Information dated 05/02/2026 - detailed below.
1. Section 15.22.8 of the Monaghan County Development Plan 2025-2031 states that all development proposals in flood risk areas
should be supported with a site-specific Flood Risk Assessment (FRA), in accordance with the DECLG, The Planning System and
Flood Risk Management Guidelines for Planning Authorities (2009) and Departmental Circular PL2/2014. The Office of Public Works
(OPW) Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment (PFRA) maps indicate that part of the application site is vulnerable to pluvial flooding
events.
In this regard, the Applicant shall submit a Flood Risk Assessment for the proposed development, completed by a competent
professional with hydrological experience, confirming that the development:
• Will not be at risk of flooding
• Will not exacerbate flooding in the immediate vicinity or wider area.
• Will not obstruct or impede important flow paths
• Will not result in residual risks to the area and/or development that cannot be managed to an acceptable level.
The flood risk assessment shall also clearly demonstrate proposed management of any residual risks.
In response to the above Point 1.
Please find attached a copy of the Flood Risk Assessment by Traynor Environmental Ltd.
Trusting all of the submitted documentation is in order and that the application will be looked upon favourably, however, should you require any
further details please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned.
Yours sincerely,
