ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
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.
2.
The proposed development is considered insufficient in terms of the environmental information
provided. In this regard, the applicant is requested to:
a) Submit a revised agricultural planning application to include the correct applicant’s name and
address.
b) Clarify whether storm water will discharge to a soak-pit as stated in Section 1.1 of the
Proposed Development Description, and if so, demonstrate that the proposed soak-pit design
is suitable for ground conditions and will present no environmental risk to water quality.
c) Submit revised proposals for the storm water drainage system to take account of the
Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage guidance document on Nature-
based Solutions to the Management of Rainwater and Surface Water Runoff in Urban Areas.
d) Clarify the volumes and measurements of all proposed soiled water tanks.
e) Submit a revised site layout plan demonstrating the following;
i. All proposed surface/storm water drainage systems (outlined in blue).
ii. The directional flow of all surface water pipelines.
iii. Proposed nature-based solutions for surface water.
iv. All associated discharge points and outfalls.
v. All proposed effluent / soiled water drainage systems (outlined in red).
vi. All soiled water storage tanks including volumes and dimensions of same.
f) Submit details on the outlet for poultry manure from the proposed development. The address
on the letter submitted with the application is Derrykinard, Swans Cross, Co. Monaghan which
is inconsistent with the proposed development address. The letter shall also clarify the
frequency of poultry manure collections from the proposed development.
g) Taking account of the land to be used for the proposed development, demonstrate that the
remaining spread lands have capacity for all proposed wash waters, including proposed
imported wash waters, so as to not result in a stocking rate of greater than 170kg N/Ha.
h) Submit a Construction and Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) for agreement. This
plan shall be sufficient to demonstrate that adequate measures will be in place for the
construction phase to ensure there is no discharge of polluting matter/sediment laden waters
to any waters. The Construction and Environmental Management Plan shall take account of
best practice and the guidance produced by Inland Fisheries Ireland titled “Guidelines on
Protection of Fisheries during Construction Works in and Adjacent to Waters 2016” and shall
include the identification of potential pathways to the groundwater aquifer and the Dromore
River. The CEMP shall be prepared by a suitably qualified person and shall include the location
details of the monitoring points where daily visual checks and weekly surface water
monitoring (physical& chemical parameters) shall be carried out.
