Appropriate Assessment (Section 6.2 and Policy HCLP 1 Heritage, Conservation & Landscape Policies)
Under Article 6(3) of the EU Habitats Directive and Regulation 30 of SI no. 94/1997 “European Communities (Natural
Habitats) Regulations” (1997) any plan or project which has the potential to significantly impact on the integrity of a
Natura 2000 site (i.e. an SAC or SPA) must be subject to an Appropriate Assessment. This requirement is also detailed
under Section 177(U) of the Planning and Development Acts (2000-2010).
Policy HCLP1 of MCDP 2025-2031 states:
“No projects giving rise to significant cumulative, direct, indirect or secondary impacts on Natura 2000 sites arising
from their size or scale, land take, proximity, resource requirements, emissions (disposal to land, water or air),
transportation requirements, duration of construction, operation, decommissioning or from any other effects shall be
permitted on the basis of this plan (either individually or in combination with other plans or projects6)”.
The subject site is located within 15km of a Natura 2000 site, however, there are no significant watercourses located
within close proximity to the site and no known pathway connectors with the Natura 2000 network. The site is also
not located within 15km of any Natura 2000 Sites outside County Monaghan either in Republic of Ireland or Northern
Ireland.
Having regard to cumulative effects of both the proposed development and any other plan or project, it is the opinion
of the planning authority that the development is not of a nature or scale to have any significant effects on the integrity
of any Natura 2000 sites and therefore a Stage 2 Appropriate Assessment is not required in respect of this project.
Policy RCP 1 and Section 15.9.1 ‘Rural Character’
Policy RCP 1 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 proposed dwelling is to be back from the roadside by c30.5m.
• The site as existing benefits from a mature boundary, with additional planting proposed.
• Development proposed is a two-storey dwelling with maximum height of c8.8m.
• Dwelling is centrally located within the site, being c38m away from the existing western mature boundary, and
c20.6m away from the proposed eastern boundary.
• Further information required.
Policy RSDP 1 and Section 15.9.2 ‘Site Selection and Design Guidelines’
Table 15.3 of MCDP 2025-2031 sets out the rural house design policy. This requires specific focus on the design, siting,
scale and form of the proposed dwelling.
The use of simple shapes, forms and materials which are reflective of the Monaghan vernacular ensure a successful
design that will integrate best into the countryside. New rural housing, including contemporary designs, should reflect
the traditional vernacular.
The Monaghan vernacular includes the following elements:
• Traditional dwelling with a linear plan form
• Returns located to the rear
• Roof with full gables and chimneys located along the ridge line
• Elevations with a greater proportion of solid than void
• Windows with a vertical emphasis
• Use of simple materials
Tabe 15.3
Features Guidelines for Siting and Designing a Rural House in the Vernacular Style
Site Study The site and/or the location of dwelling within the site should be selected to maximise
the benefits of shelter, topography and any existing buildings.
The site should use clearly identifiable and established boundaries, such as trees,
slopes or other natural features, which separate the site from the surrounding
countryside, and offer a suitable degree of enclosure.
In addition to the roadside boundary, the site should have a minimum of one natural
existing boundary to soften the impact of the development in the landscape.
The building should not be located on a site where it would break any ridgeline or
shoreline.
The site should make use of natural contours of the landscape and be set into the
landscape.
Sites requiring excessive excavation, filling and/or removal of natural vegetation should
be avoided.
The site should be set back from the road and aim to retain frontage.
Suburban type layouts and gardens should be avoided.
Application site is a greenfield site, located off the local tertiary road.
The wider host field is bounded by existing mature boundaries, with additional planting proposed.
Proposed dwelling would not break ridgeline.
The FFL of the proposed dwelling and garage is 74.50.
Dwelling is centrally located within the site, being c38m away from the existing western mature boundary, and
c20.6m away from the proposed eastern boundary.
Further information required.
Orientation The dwelling should be orientated to maximise daylight and solar gain.
Where appropriate, windows on south facing elevations should be arranged to capture
the sun’s energy and glazing on north facing elevations should be limited to aid heat
conservation.
The proposed dwelling is orientated to maximise daylight and solar gain.
Scale The size, scale and mass of the building must be appropriate to its setting.
6
Features Guidelines for Siting and Designing a Rural House in the Vernacular Style
A large house should only be located on a well screened site to enable effective
integration into its surroundings.
Larger houses should be sub-divided into smaller elements of traditional form to avoid
bulky structures.
The dwelling should have regard to the scale of surrounding buildings.
Dwelling of an acceptable scale, relative to the size of the site
Landscaping plan submitted.
Existing boundary hedgerows and trees are to remain.
Form The dwelling should be of simple plan form, of modest scale and traditional pitched
gables should be used.
The external gable depth should generally not exceed 9m or 6.5m for narrow plan form.
The roof pitch should normally be 35 to 40-degree pitch except where the gable depth
is below 7.5m, then 45 degrees is acceptable.
Two storey dwellings should generally not exceed 9m in height above ground level.
Any projections or returns should be of simple form and roof pitch.
Two-storey dwelling proposed.
Frontage proposed at c12.35m with the additional side projection of c4.3m.
External gable depth is proposed at c9m.
Roof pitch and height is acceptable.
Proportions The design should have a good roof to wall proportion and a high solid to void
relationship with greater wall surface area than window or door openings.
Windows and doors should be simple and of vertical emphasis.
A simple, symmetrical arrangement of openings should be employed.
Large horizontal windows, picture/feature windows shall be located on elevations not
visible from the public domain.
High solid to void relationship proposed.
Windows of vertical emphasis.
The ground floor windows have limited vertical emphasis but provide an overall balance to the design of the
dwelling.
Materials Materials and finishes should be traditional to the area and in keeping with the
character of the landscape unless the material proposed is matching that of the locality.
The use of combinations of materials, excessive ornamentation and non-traditional
materials should be avoided.
Plastered, render or natural stone finishes are suitable in all rural areas.
Brick, cladded stone and pebble dash are not traditional finishes and should be
avoided.
Natural roof slate which is dark blue/black in colour, is preferable.
Render finish and natural stone with natural slate roof.
Detailing Chimneys should be centrally located on the ridge with vernacular proportions.
Chimneys at the gable end should be flush with the gable.
Decorative fascias should be avoided.
Porches and conservatories should be of simple design and in proportion to the
dwelling.
Two chimneys proposed centrally on the ridge.
Eaves flush with the external walls.
Porch area is of simple form.
Boundary Treatment New frontage boundaries should be reflective of existing roadside boundaries using
compatible hedgerow planting, walls, timber fencing and/or dry stonework.
Existing roadside hedgerows and ditches should be retained as much as possible. The
location of the site entrance should be positioned to achieve the required sight
distance with the removal of a minimum extent of existing hedgerow.
Unsympathetic fencing, walls and planting should be avoided.
