1. (a) Please attached Drawing No. 03A - Site Layout Plan (1:500 scale) indicating how a clear
and unobstructed visibility splay of 120m can be achieved at the junction of the private
laneway and the Local Road (R-214). The required visibility splays are 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 to an object height of 0.26 metres to 2.0 metres
above ground level in both directions. Sight distances are measured to the nearest road
edge in both directions.
The required sightlines of 120 metres can be achieved in the south-western direction by
way of carrying improvement works being carried out comprising keeping clear the area
denoted 'A' - 'B' - 'C' and shaded orange. As this area is outside the site area and in third
party ownership, a fully completed wayleave agreement consenting to the proposed
works is provided.

The required sightlines of 120 metres can be achieved in the north-eastern direction by
way of carrying improvement works being carried out comprising keeping clear the area
denoted 'E' - 'F' - 'G' and shaded orange. As this area is in the ownership of the applicant
there is no requirement for a wayleave agreement consenting to the proposed works.
(b) In addition, forward and rear visibility splays of 120 metres are detailed on Drawings No.
03A- Site Layout Plan attached. The said improvement works as detailed previously will
ensure that the forward and rear visibility splays can be achieved.
The revised legal agreement and accompanying map has been signed by all parties
including the applicant and witnessed by a Solicitor in each case. The revised legal
agreement is provided in accordance with section 15.23.1 ‘Visibility Splays Agreement’ of
the Monaghan County Development Plan 2025 – 2031.
I trust that the above is in order however if you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact
me.
