ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Section 15.23.2 'Minimum Visibility Standards for Non -Urban Roads' and Table 15.4 'Minimum
Visibility Standards Road Category Design' of the Monaghan County Development Plan 2025-
2031 stipulates that the minimum visibility splays required for a new access onto a local
Primary Road, is 2.4 X 90 metres. Section 15.23.1 also notes that proposals requiring works on
third party lands must be accompanied by a written legal agreement, in accordance with
Appendix 13, signed by all parties and witnessed by a solicitor. Although visibility splays of 2.4
by 90 metres are shown, the submitted site layout plan notes that 'areas between sight lines
and road verge to be graded back so not to block sight splays' on lands not within the
applicants control. It is also appears that the submitted site layout plan does not accurately
reflect the position of the existing hedgerow to the north-west of the proposed site entrance.
Having regard to same, the applicant is requested to submit the following information, in the
interests of road safety;
I. A revised, accurate site layout plan (1:500 scale) indicating how clear and
unobstructed visibility splays of 90metres can be achieved at the proposed entry/exit
point onto the adjoining public road. The required visibility splays should be provided
from a point in the centre of the entrance, 2.4metres from the road edge at a height
of 1.05 metre to 2.0 metres above ground level to an object height of 1.05 metres to
2.0 metres above ground level 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.
II. 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 90 metre 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. The applicant is requested to provide elevational details of the proposed entrance gates and
pillars, as indicated on the submitted site layout plan.
