1.
Section 15.9.1 (Rural Character) and Policy RCP 1 of the Monaghan County Development Plan
2025-2031 seek to ensure that new rural housing does not further erode the rural character of
an area, having regard to the existing pattern of development and the cumulative impact of
new development.
The proposed development would be located on a site comprising residual lands situated
beside existing and permitted residential development and which has been created as an
individual development plot.
Having regard to the concentration of existing and permitted dwellings in the area, the
incremental subdivision of roadside lands for residential development, and the cumulative
impact of such development on the character of the rural area, it is considered that the
proposal would cause a detrimental impact on, and further erode, the rural character of the
area.
Accordingly, the development would, if permitted, be contrary to Section 15.9.1 (Rural
Character) and Policy RCP 1 of the Monaghan County Development Plan 2025-2031 and be
contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
2.
Section 15.9.2 (Site Selection and Design Guidelines), Table 15.3 (Guidelines for Siting and
Designing a Rural House in the Vernacular Style) and Policy RSDP 1 seek to ensure that sites
are suitable for the scale and nature of development proposed.
The scale and extent of development proposed is excessive relative to the size and
configuration of the application site. Having regard to the constrained nature of the site, the
proposed dwelling, garage, amenity areas, access arrangements, wastewater treatment
infrastructure and associated site works would result in an unsatisfactory form of
development that fails to demonstrate a satisfactory relationship between the proposed
development and the site available.
Accordingly, the development would, if permitted, be contrary to Section 15.9.2, Table 15.3
and Policy RSDP 1 of the Monaghan County Development Plan 2025-2031 and be contrary to
the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
3.
Section 15.22.5 (On -Site Wastewater Treatment Systems) and Policy WWTP 1 of the
Monaghan County Development Plan 2025-2031 seek to ensure that on -site wastewater
treatment systems are located and constructed to the highest standards in order to protect
water quality, including groundwater and surface water.
The Environmental Health Officer has raised serious concerns regarding the suitability of the
application site to accommodate an on -site wastewater treatment system and percolation
area, having regard to the low-lying nature of the site. In addition, the Environmental Health
Officer has advised that the necessary remedial works would be required over the entire site
area in order to satisfactorily demonstrate site suitability. Having regard to the information
submitted and the concerns raised, the Planning Authority is not satisfied that the application
site is suitable for the satisfactory treatment and disposal of wastewater arising from the
proposed development.
Accordingly, the development would, if permitted, be contrary to Section 15.22.5 and Policy
WWTP 1 of the Monaghan County Development Plan 2025-2031, be prejudicial to public
health and environmental protection, and be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable
development of the area.
