Section 15.23 of the Monaghan County Development Plan 2025-2031 sets out requirements for new accesses onto public roads and the intensification of existing accesses, and states that “Proposals requiring works on third party land must be accompanied by a written legal agreement, in accordance with Appendix 13. This legal agreement and accompanying maps shall be signed by all parties and witnessed by a Solicitor”. The proposed development accesses onto the Regional Road R-183-5 where visibility splays of 120 metres x 2.4 metres in both directions, at 1.05 metres above ground level, are required. The submitted Site Layout Plan indicates that works to third-party land would be required to achieve the required visibility splays, and in the absence of third-party legal agreements, the applicant has failed to demonstrate that clear and unobstructed visibility splays are achievable and that the proposed development will not result in a traffic hazard. The applicant has failed to clearly demonstrate that the upgrading of an existing sub-standard entrance onto the R-183-5 can be provided in accordance with Section 15.23 of the Monaghan County Development Plan 2025-2031. The proposal is therefore deemed to be unacceptable on road safety grounds, contrary to the Monaghan County Development Plan 2025 2031, and contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
