- Monaghan County Development Plan 2025 – 2031 15.10.4 DOMESTIC GARAGES, SHEDS, ANCILLARY OUTBUILDINGS AND CAR PORTS Domestic garages, sheds and ancillary outbuildings are generally an acceptable form of development within domestic curtilages. These buildings should be visually subservient in terms of size, scale and bulk to the main dwelling served and will only be permitted for uses which are ancillary to the main dwelling. Car ports will only be considered where they do not unduly add to the bulk and form of the dwelling and where they are not visible from the public domain. Proposals for domestic garages, sheds, ancillary outbuildings and carports shall generally comply with the following: a) The design, size, scale and form of the building/structure and finishes/materials should normally be consistent with the design of the main dwelling on site. b) The building/structure is normally detached and sited to the side or rear of the house to minimise visual impact from the public road or surrounding landscape. c) The building/structure is used for purposes incidental to the enjoyment of the dwelling and not for any commercial, manufacturing, industrial use or as habitable accommodation. d) Where the total floor area of the building/structure is in excess of 80m2, satisfactory justification shall be provided for its size. e) Car ports shall only be permitted where they are incorporated into the design of the dwelling, do not constitute a visual intrusion, and where they are not visible from the public domain. f) The residential amenity in the vicinity of the proposed development will not be compromised. g) Only one domestic garage shall be permitted for any single dwelling unless the need for a second garage is satisfactorily demonstrated. h) Existing surface water drainage is maintained or relocated satisfactorily. 15.10.5 TEMPORARY RESIDENTIAL ACCOMMODATION It may be necessary to provide temporary residential accommodation to facilitate site specific, exceptional and/or personal circumstances, and in these instances, the Planning Authority may consider granting temporary permission for the installation of temporary residential accommodation. Examples of this are where a permanent dwelling is being constructed on the same site, or a site-specific need, as referenced above, has been clearly demonstrated. Planning permission shall not be granted for the permanent retention of this accommodation type. For reasons of amenity, planning permission shall not normally be granted for this form of development on greenfield sites or within housing developments. Proposals for temporary residential accommodation shall be granted for a maximum period of 5 years in accordance with the following: a) Where a permanent dwelling is being constructed on the same site or where site-specific, compelling domestic or personal circumstances have been demonstrated, and, where genuine hardship would result if planning permission for the temporary accommodation were refused. b) A wastewater treatment and disposal system which complies with the requirements of the EPA Code of Practice – Wastewater Treatment and Disposal Systems Serving Single Houses (PE≤10) (2021), or any new or updated/subsequent versions. c) The vehicular access for the permanent dwelling on the same site shall be completed in accordance with the conditions of the planning permission prior to the occupation of the temporary residential accommodation. d) The development would not detrimentally impact on residential or visual amenity. 340 DGP 1 Proposals for domestic garages, sheds, ancillary outbuildings and car ports shall comply with Section 15.10.4 in Chapter 15 of the Monaghan County Development Plan 2025-2031.

- Environment, Energy and Climate ActionEnvironment, Energy and Climate Actionintroductionchapter 01 341 15.10.6 HOME BASED WORK UNITS Home based work activities which are secondary to the use of the dwelling can be appropriate where the amenity of surrounding residences is not adversely affected. Over-the-counter services and associated developments such as business signage, advertising, security gates and excessive security lighting will not be appropriate in these instances. In some instances, planning permission for a home based work activity may be granted for a temporary period to allow for monitoring of the impact of the activity. Proposals for home based work units, shall only be permitted in the following cases: a) The business use is subordinate to the main use of the dwelling as residential accommodation. b) It shall be restricted to use by the residential occupier. c) The business activity is of a limited scale (normally maximum 1 or 2 workers). d) It shall be demonstrated that the nature and extent of the proposal has no adverse impact on the residential amenities of adjoining occupiers, the visual amenities of the area, traffic safety or traffic movements in the area, and, e) It shall be demonstrated that there is no increase in refuse and waste collection operations. 15.10.7 NURSING HOMES, RETIREMENT HOMES, AND CARE FACILITIES The demand for nursing homes, retirement homes, care facilities and associated services has grown as life expectancy has increased. In assessing planning applications for this type of development, the Planning Authority will refer to the following for guidance: k National Standards for Residential Care Settings for Older People in Ireland (2016). k Thinking Ahead: Independent and Supported Housing Models for an Ageing Population (2018). k Ministerial and Departmental Guidelines including Housing Options for Our Ageing Population Policy Statement (2019). k National Housing Strategy for Disabled People 2022-2027. There is a presumption against permitting nursing homes, retirement homes and care facilities in the rural area. The Planning Authority considers that these services should be located within the designated Tier 1- 3 settlements of the County where public utilities are available and opportunities for greater social integration and inclusion to the community exist. Proposals for nursing homes, retirement homes and care facilities in or adjacent to Tier 4, 5 and 6 settlements, may be considered acceptable where there is a clearly identified need for the accommodation and a strong justification for the proposed location having regard to available services. Proposals for nursing homes, retirement homes and care facilities shall comply with the following: a) The use shall not be incompatible with other uses in the area. b) Access details, parking provision and pedestrian linkages are provided in accordance with the relevant development standards set out in Chapter 15 of the Monaghan County Development Plan 2025-2031. c) It is of a high-quality design and layout which respects the characteristics of the site and adjoining properties. d) Sufficient amenity space and landscaped areas should be provided to meet the needs of the residents and provide an attractive setting.

Proposals for wind energy development must meet the requirements as set out in the Wind Energy Development Guidelines (DEHLG, 2006). The Planning Authority will have regard to the DHLGH’s Draft Wind Energy Guidelines (2019), and any new or updated/subsequent versions, when considering planning applications for wind energy developments and modifications to existing developments. Other forms of renewable energy include anaerobic digestors, battery storage, biomass/bioenergy, solar, geothermal and hydro power/storage. At present, there are no national planning guidelines for these types of energy developments. Therefore, the Council shall assess individual applications having regard to normal planning considerations and the locational criteria applicable to other types of renewable energy developments. Proposals for renewable energy development, including associated infrastructure and connection to the grid, shall not have any adverse impacts upon: a) The visual amenities of the area and surrounding landscape, either individually, or cumulatively with other similar projects in the area, particularly in respect of the scale, size and layout of the project and the degree of visibility over extensive areas. b) Areas of Primary and Secondary Amenity Value, Scenic Routes or any other designated scenic landscapes. c) Special Protection Areas, Special Areas of Conservation, protected habitats, nature conservation, wildlife, or ecology. d) Soil, hydrology, surface waters, or groundwater. e) Archaeology or built heritage. f) The residential amenities of the existing or permitted area. g) The public road network in the area. h) Public rights of way and walking routes. i) Existing or permitted land uses in the area due to noise disturbance generated by the proposal or cumulatively generated by other similar proposals within the area. j) Existing or permitted land uses in the area due to shadow flicker generated by wind energy proposals or cumulatively generated by other similar proposals. k) Existing or permitted land uses in the area due to glint and glare generated by solar energy proposals or cumulatively generated by other similar proposals within the area, upon landscapes, traffic and aircraft safety. l) Existing authorised permitted buildings and land uses by reason of emissions or odours, either individually or cumulatively with other similar proposals in the area. 15.18 EXTRACTIVE INDUSTRY Any application for an extractive industry shall have regard to the Quarrying and Ancillary Activities, Guidelines for Planning Authorities (DEHLG 2004), Guidelines for Environmental Management in the Extractive Industry (EPA, 2006), Guidelines on Biodiversity in the Extractive Industry (NPWS), Geological Survey of Ireland Geological Heritage Guidelines for the Extractive Industry (2008), the Archaeological Code of Practice (2009) and the Architectural Heritage Protections Guidelines for Planning Authorities (DAHG, 2011) and any new or update/subsequent documents. In recognition of the important contribution extractive industries make to the local economy, development proposals located in close proximity to existing extractive sites or sites which have significant resource potential, will be resisted where such development would limit the future exploitation of these sites.
