Planning Authority notes that the proposed development, as described, comprises the extension, refurbishment and conversion of an existing building. It is not completely clear from the documentation provided however, as to which elements of the original building are to be retained. Furthermore, the submitted details appear to indicate that the majority of the original building is to be demolished in order to facilitate the proposed development. As such, it is considered that the development description is somewhat misleading. It is suggested that the proposal could be more accurately described as, for example, the 'demolition of an existing building and replacement with storey and half dwelling' or, the 'part demolition of an existing building with extension and refurbishment works and conversion to storey and a half dwelling'. Additionally, it is also noted that the application site boundaries, as shown in the submitted site layout plan, appear to differ from site boundaries associated with previous permissions at the site. Having regard to same, the applicant is requested to provide the following details/documentation; (a) (i) A revised development description, in accordance with Article 35 of the Planning and Development Regulations 2001 (as amended), which accurately portrays the works proposed i.e. to include 'demolition' or 'part demolition', and, if applicable, include 'retention of site boundaries'. (ii) Revise the site notice indicating 'Significant Further Information/Revised Plans', as appropriate and erect a revised site notice on site. (iii) Publish a revised press notice indicating 'Significant Further Information/Revised Plans', as appropriate and include the revised development description. (iv) Submit a copy of the revised site notice and revised press notice to the Planning Authority, or; (v) Where part of the original building is to be retained, the applicant shall provide the following documentation, notwithstanding the details already provided; (b) (i) Revised floor plans/elevational plans/layout plans, which clearly illustrate which parts of the original building are to be retained as part of the development. The retained and proposed elements of the development should be clearly distinguishable. (ii) A detailed structural/condition survey, carried out by a suitably qualified competent technical professional, which demonstrates that the to -be -retained elements of the original building are structurally sound and capable of being adapted, refurbished and extended, in accordance with the details provided. 2. Planning Authority notes that the proposal includes the 'redesign existing exit on to public road', however, it is unclear from the details provided as to specific works that are proposed at the exit onto the public road. The following points are also noted; • the application site red line boundary does not extend to the public road to incorporate said works/full extent of access route. • part of the proposed site access from the public road is located on land under separate ownership, • the site layout plan indicates site visibility splays of 35 metres although 45 metres are required, in accordance with DMURS requirements. • the site layout plan indicates that the centre point has been taken from a location approximately south of the existing/proposed entrance. • the required 'x' distance (2.4 metres) has not been clearly shown on the submitted layout plan. Having regard to the above, the applicant is requested to provide the following additional information; (i) A revised site layout plan indicating how it is proposed to provide clear and unobstructed visibility splays of 45 metres at the proposed entrance. The visibility splays shall be measured to the nearside road edge in each direction and shall 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 to an object height of 0.6 metres to 2.0 metres above ground level in both directions. The area within the visibility splays shall be cleared to provide a level surface no higher than 250 mm above the level of the adjoining carriageway. (ii) Where sight distances are not achievable within site area the applicant should submit legal agreements with adjoining landowners giving their consent for all necessary works to facilitate the required sight distances, including removal/trimming of hedgerow, 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. (iii) A revised application site red line boundary incorporating all of the proposed access route and associated works. (iv) Written consent from the relevant third -party landowner for the use of part of the access route. 3. The applicant is requested to provide a concise report which demonstrates how the conditions associated with planning permission 06/1610 'to alter the existing access and all associated works' relating to this site, have been satisfactorily complied with. 4. Planning Authority notes that the applicant has indicated that Part V of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended) does not apply to the proposal, however it has not been demonstrated how the proposal is exempt from Part V requirements. The applicant is therefore requested to submit a Section 96 Exemption Declaration, in accordance with Section 97(3) of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended). 5. The applicant is requested to confirm the proposed external finishes for the proposed dwelling. 6. The applicant is requested to provide a fully completed Water Protection Checklist. Note: It is recommended that the applicant/agent liaises with Planning Section and the MD Engineer prior to the preparation and submission of this Further Information.
