Policy SRP 2 of Monaghan County Development Plan 2025-2031 seeks to protect the scenic quality of lakes by prohibiting development located between a public road and a lake where the development would interrupt a view of the lake or adversely affect its setting or its wildlife habitat. Development may be permitted between a public road and the lakeshore where the development is screened from the lake by existing topography or vegetation. The proposed dwelling is located between a lake and a public road and is not screened from the lake by existing topography or vegetation, and therefore the proposed development would adversely impact on its setting. Accordingly, if permitted as proposed, the development would materially conflict with the Development Plan and would be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area. 2. Section 15.23 of the Monaghan County Development Plan 2025-2031 outlines the safety and convenience requirements for new accesses onto public roads, and states that “Proposals requiring works on third party land must be accompanied by a written legal agreement, in accordance with Appendix 13. This legal agreement and accompanying maps shall be signed by all parties and witnessed by a Solicitor”. The proposed development accesses onto the Local Tertiary Road L-70021-0 where visibility splays of 50 metres x 2.4 metres in both directions, at 1.05 metres above ground level, are required. The submitted Site Layout Plan indicates that works to third-party land would be required, and in the absence of third-party legal agreements, the applicant has failed to demonstrate that clear and unobstructed visibility splays are achievable and that the proposed development will not result in a traffic hazard. The applicant has failed to clearly demonstrate that a new entrance onto the L-70021-0 can be provided in accordance with Section 15.23 of the Monaghan County Development Plan 2025-2031. The proposal is therefore deemed to be unacceptable as it would be contrary to the Monaghan County Development Plan 2025-2031 and be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area. 3. The applicant has failed to fully demonstrate compliance with Policy RSDP 1 and associated Table 15.3 ‘Guidelines for Siting and Designing a Rural House in the Vernacular Style’ of the Monaghan County Development Plan 2025-2031 by reason of the overall height at 9.2m and the chimneys on the front roof plain. The proposed development would therefore, if permitted, materially conflict with Policy RSDP 1 of the Monaghan County Development Plan 2025-2031 and be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
