Failtionn an tUdaras Aitiuil roimh chomhfhreagras i nGaeilge 26/37 Sarah McMahon 1. 2. 3. Carrachor Td., Scotstown, Co. Monaghan ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The Planning Authority notes that the applicant is seeking to relocate the access on the Local Secondary Road to serve the proposed development. The site layout plan indicates visibility splays of 70m in both directions from the proposed entrance. The applicant is requested to submit: a) A revised site layout plan (1:500 scale) indicating how a clear and unobstructed visibility splay of 70 metre can be achieved at the proposed entry/exit points onto the Local Secondary Road. The required visibility splays should be provided from a point in the centre of the entrances, 2.4 metres from the road edge at a height of 1.05 metre to 2.0 metres above ground level to an object height of 0.26 metres to 2.0 metres above ground level in both directions. Sight distances to be measures to the nearest road edge in both directions. The submitted revised site layout plan should demonstrate all necessary site work, including the extent of the front boundary hedge and trees which would be required to be removed/trimmed, re -grading of side banks etc to achieve the required sight distances. b) Where the sight distances are not achievable within the applicant's ownership, the applicant should submit legal agreements with adjoining landowners giving their consent for all necessary works to facilitate the required 70m sight distances, including removal/trimming of hedgerow/hedges, re -grading of side banks etc. The Legal Agreement and accompanying Maps shall be signed by the landowner, the applicant and witnessed by a Solicitor in accordance with exact wording of Appendix 13 of Monaghan County Development Plan 2025 - 2031. The Planning Authority notes that the proposed description of development makes to no reference to the relocation of the previously approved access. The applicant is therefore requested to submit an amended description of development to include the "relocate access onto the public road" This would constitute Significant Further Information. In accordance with Article 35 of the Planning and Development Regulations 2001 (as amended), the Applicant shall: (i) Revise the Site Notice indicating 'Significant Further Information/Revised Plans, as appropriate' (ii) Erect revised Site Notice on site (iii) Revise the Press Notice indicating 'Significant Further Information/Revised Plans, as appropriate' (iv) Submit a Copy of the Revised Site Notice and Revised Press Notice to the Planning Authority. Policy RSDP 1 of the Monaghan County Development Plan 2025-2031 requires applicants for one-off housing in rural areas to demonstrate compliance with the design guidelines as set out in Table 15.3 'Guidelines for Siting and Designing a Rural House in the Vernacular Style'. In this regard, the Planning Authority has the following design concerns with the development proposed; a) Dwelling Form - the roof to wall ratio whereby the roof appears overly dominant / top-heavy in the front and rear elevation. b) The design should have a good roof to wall proportion and a high solid to void relationship with greater wall surface area than window or door openings. The proposed dwelling does not reflect this; the applicant shall revised accordingly. c) The inclusion of the bay window in the front elevation, create an overly suburban design feature in this rural context, clashing with the simple modest character of the proposed design. The applicant is requested to omit bay window and simplify the window arrangement on the front elevation. d) The proposed chimneys, which are positioned on the roof plane. As per the Design Guidelines, chimneys should be centrally located on the ridge with vernacular proportions. e) There is a discrepancy on the submitted plans whereby a projected porch is shown on the front elevation, but this has not been illustrated on the side elevation. The applicant shall submit amended plans to rectify this. Having regard to the above, the applicant is requested to submit a revised design solution to address these concerns to demonstrate that the proposal acceptably complies with Policy RSDP 1.
