1. Section 15.23 of the Monaghan County Development Plan 2025-2031 sets out 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 Primary Road LP -4121-0 where visibility splays
of 70 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 to achieve
the required visibility splays, 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 LP -4121-0 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 on road safety grounds, contrary to
the Monaghan County Development Plan 2025 2031, and contrary to the proper planning and
sustainable development of the area.
