PLANNING PERMISSION – ROAD CONDITION REPORT
Planning Application No. 26/60122
Previous Ref.No’s.
Applicant: Michael and Margaret Wallace
Address: Doagheys, Glaslough, Co. Monaghan
Proposed Development: Planning permission for a development which will consist
of the demolition of the existing two-storey dwelling and
associated outbuildings, and the construction of 1 no.
two-storey replacement dwelling and detached domestic
garage, together with improvements to the existing site
entrance and all associated site development works
Location: Doagheys, Glaslough, Co. Monaghan
Adjoining Road No. R-185-2
Site Notice: Yes No Date: 18/05/2026
Comments:
The existing visibility splays to the Northeast of the access onto the R-185-2 is sub-standard as it
does not meet the 120m requirement set out in the Monaghan County Development Plan 2025-
2031 Table 15.4 Minimum Visibility Standards.
However, this development is the replacement of an existing dwelling with existing entrance
constructed before the current standards came into place.
Current Proposed Site Layout shows: Sight Distance to the Northeast of 47m
I recommend that the applicant be requested to submit additional information as follows:
1. Where sight distances are not achievable within the site area and where the
hedgerows/embankments/walls/piers/entrance gates do not belong to the applicant. Legal
agreements with adjoining landowners giving their consent to allow removal of their
embankment/walls/piers/entrance gates and or hedges to provide the required sight distance
shall be submitted to the Planning Authority.
a. A Legal agreement with the adjacent landowner to the Northeast, which allows your
sightline to traverse their land and be maintained as necessary.
Kind Regards
