Monaghan 1. The proposed development is contrary to Section 15.13 (Agricultural Development) and Policy AGP 1 of the Monaghan County Development Plan 2025-2031, which require that agricultural development be demonstrated as necessary for the operation of an agricultural enterprise. The Planning Authority is not satisfied that the proposed development constitutes a bona fide agricultural building or that it is necessary for the operation of an agricultural enterprise. The application is not accompanied by a completed Agricultural Development Planning Application Form, and insufficient information has been submitted regarding the agricultural holding, agricultural activities undertaken, existing agricultural buildings serving the holding, the intended use of the structure and the justification for its scale. Accordingly, the need for the proposed development has not been adequately demonstrated. The proposal is therefore contrary to Section 15.13 (Agricultural Development) and Policy AGP 1 of the Monaghan County Development Plan 2025-2031 and contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area. 2. The proposed development is contrary to Strategic Objective SO 10 and Policy NRP 4 of the Monaghan County Development Plan 2025-2031, which seek to maintain the strategic capacity and safety of the national roads network and to avoid the generation of increased traffic from existing accesses onto National Roads. The proposed development would use an existing access onto the N2 National Road. Having regard to the scale of the proposed structure, the greenfield nature of the site, the absence of a demonstrated agricultural need and the lack of information submitted regarding the nature of the proposed use and associated traffic generation, the Planning Authority is not satisfied that the proposal would not result in an unacceptable intensification of use of the existing access onto the N2 National Road. The proposal would therefore be contrary to Strategic Objective SO 10 and Policy NRP 4 of the Monaghan County Development Plan 2025-2031 and contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
