In this regard, the applicant is requested to submit the following information; a) A revised site layout plan (1:500 scale) indicating how a clear and unobstructed visibility splay of 70m can be achieved at the entry/exit point where the lane meets the Local Secondary Road. The required visibility splays should be provided from a point in the centre of the entrance, 2.4 metres from the road edge at a height of 1.05 metre to 2.0 metres above ground level. 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) In the event 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 Applicant should note that legal agreements should be submitted using the Appendix 13 template 'Form of Agreement in respect of forward and rear visibility' as contained in the Monaghan County Development Plan 2025-2031. 2. Further to point 1 above, the Planning Authority notes that the applicant seeks to provide an access onto an existing lane which leads onto Local Primary Road, to serve the proposed development. It is unclear from the information submitted as to the ownership of the lane and whether a right of way over said lane exists. In this regard, the applicant is requested to provide clarification with regard to same. 0 The Planning Authority has received third -party submissions in respect of the proposed development. The applicant is requested to review the content of same and provide a detailed response to the issues raised, having particular regard to land -ownership concerns and providing satisfactory evidence to address same.
