ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
1. Section 15.9.1 'Rural Character' and Policy RCP 1 of Monaghan County Development Plan 2025-2031
provides for dwellings in the countryside where they will not cause a detrimental impact or further
erode the rural character of an area. RCP 1 advises that "The assessment of the impact of new
dwellings in the rural area will be considered from critical views along public roads, laneways, public
rights of way and other areas of the public domain". The Planning Authority has concerns with the
proposed central position of the dwelling within the site, being c38m away from the existing western
mature boundary, and c20.6m away from the proposed eastern boundary.
In this regard, the applicant is requested to re -position the proposed dwelling to be anchored to an
existing mature boundary (at a distance of c10m).
2. Policy DGP 1 and Section 15.10.4 'Domestic Garages, Sheds, Ancillary Outbuildings and Car Ports' of
Monaghan County Development Plan 2025-2031 advises that where the total floor area of the
building/structure is in excess of 80m2, satisfactory justification shall be provided for its size. The
Planning Authority has concerns that the proposed detached domestic garage is to be c54sqm on
the ground floor with c33m on the first floor, giving a total of c87sgm and no justification has been
provided.
In this regard, the applicant is requested to submit revised details to ensure that the proposal fully
complies with Section 15.10.4 of the Monaghan County Development Plan 2025-2031.
