ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
1. The Planning Authority notes that the applicant seeks to create a new access onto the public road
(L76003) adjacent Sruth an Luir as part of the proposed development. The site layout plan(s)
submitted is insufficient with regards demonstrating adequate access details. In this regard, the
applicant is requested to submit:
a) A revised site layout plan (1:500 scale) indicating how a clear and unobstructed visibility
splay of 49m can be achieved at the proposed entry/exit point onto the public 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 any 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. The road edge boundaries should be
clearly delineated.
b) The area within the visibility splays shall be cleared to provide a level surface no higher than
250mm above the level of the adjoining carriageway and shall be retained and kept clear
thereafter.
c) 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 50m 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 as contained in the
Monaghan County Development Plan 2025-2031.
2. The following environmental information shall be provided:
a) Submit a fully completed Water Protection Plan checklist.
b) Provide an assessment of the potential impact of the proposed development on Muckno
Mill Lough the Drinking Water Supply Source for the Churchill Oram Group Water Scheme.
c) Provide details of any proposed storm overflow or emergency overflow to waters associated
with the upgraded pump stations to include the discharge location and discharge route to
nearby surface waters. Details shall be sufficient to demonstrate that the proposed
development will not negatively impact on the receiving watercourse.
d) Provide details of future monitoring to be carried out on any storm/emergency overflow
emission points (if any) to waters.
e) Submit a revised site layout plan for each pump station clearly showing the following:
existing surface water drainage on the site; proposed surface water drainage; and the
location of any proposed overflow(s) and the hydrological connection and discharge point
to the receiving waters.
