The appeal site, which has a stated area of 0.01ha, is located in the north easternmost corner of Rockcorry GAA Club grounds, in the Townland of ‘Drummulla’, in County Monaghan. At its nearest point the site is setback c161m from the club grounds entrance onto the R188 regional road and it is situated c0.33km, as the bird would fly, from where the R188 and Newbliss Road intersect which is on the northern side of Rockcorry village. The site is predominantly surrounded by agricultural land to the north and east. To the south and south west by Rockcorry GAA club grounds. To the east and west along the R188 there is mixture of land uses present. 2.0 Proposed Development 2.1. Planning permission is sought for the erection of a new 33.05m multi-user telecommunications support structure carrying 9 no. antennae and associated remote radio units, 6 no. communication dishes, 3 no. lightning finials and 6 no. outdoor cabinets all enclosed within a security compound by a 2.4m high palisade fence with a 4m access gate, site access and site works. The public notice also indicates the proposed development will provide voice and mobile broadband services in the area. 3.0 Planning Authority Decision 3.1. Decision 3.1.1. The Planning Authority granted permission subject to conditions. Condition No. 1 is relevant to the subject matter of this appeal case. It reads: “(a) The developer shall pay to Monaghan County Council a sum of €10,480.00 in accordance with the General Development Contribution Scheme 2013-2019 (as amended), made by the Council under Section 48 of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended), towards expenditure incurred or proposed to be incurred by the Council in the provision of community, recreation and amenity public infrastructure and facilities in the area. ABP-304681-19 Inspector’s Report Page 3 of 16 (b) The sum attached to this condition shall be revised from the date of the grant of planning permission to the value pertaining at the time of payment in accordance with the Wholesale Price Index for Building and Construction (Materials and Wages). (c) No works shall commence until payment of the development contribution is made in full, or until Monaghan County Council has agreed in writing to a schedule of phased payments of the sum.” The stated reason reads: “It is considered appropriate that the developer should contribute towards the expenditure incurred or proposed to be incurred by the Council in the provision of community, recreation and amenity infrastructure and facilities in the area.” 3.2. Planning Authority Reports 3.2.1. Planning Reports The Planning Officers report is the basis of the Planning Authority’s decision. 3.2.2. Other Technical Reports Roads: No objection.

Site and Setting 4.1.1. None relevant. ABP-304681-19 Inspector’s Report Page 4 of 16 5.0 Policy and Context 5.1. National Planning Provisions • National Planning Framework 2018. • Telecommunications Antennae and Support Structures Guidelines for Planning Authorities, July 1996. • Development Contribution Guidelines for Planning Authorities, January 2013. • Revision of Development Contribution Guidelines in respect of Telecommunications and Infrastructure, Circular letter PL 03/2018. 5.2. Local Planning Provisions 5.2.1. The Monaghan County Development Plan, 2019 to 2025, is the applicable Development Plan for the site and its setting. The site is located on land zoned ‘Category 2 – Remaining Rural Area’ within the development limits of the settlement of Rockcorry. 5.2.2. Section 7.20 of the said Plan recognises that the existence of high quality and sustainable telecommunications network is vital to the continued growth of the economy and the quality of life in the County. 5.2.3. Objective TC01 states that the Planning Authority will seek “to facilitate the development of a high quality and sustainable telecommunications network for County Monaghan to support economic growth, improve quality of life and enhance social inclusion.” 5.3. Development Contribution Scheme 5.3.1. The current ‘Monaghan Local Authorities General Development Contribution Scheme, 2013 to 2019’ requires a contribution of €10,000 per mast, for telecommunications development, towards the provision of community, recreation and amenity infrastructure. Current indexed link charges are €10,480 per mast. Of note Section 19(e) of the Contribution Scheme which deals with the matter of Exemptions/Reductions, provides a 100% exemption from all contribution charges in relation to telecommunications development which is solely for the provision of broadband infrastructure where the new development does not place a demand for new, upgraded or additional infrastructure or services. ABP-304681-19 Inspector’s Report Page 5 of 16 5.4. Chief Executives Order No. P1/19 5.4.1. This order amends the development contributions applicable to the various categories of development provided for under the Monaghan Local Authorities General Development Contribution Scheme, 2013-2019, with the amendments stated to be in line with the Wholesale Price Index for Building and Construction and came into effect on the 1st day of January, 2019. 5.5. Natural Heritage Designations 5.5.1. None relevant 5.6. Environmental Impact Assessment 5.6.1. Having regard to the nature and scale of the development sought under this application, the distance between the site and sensitive receptors and the lack of any direct hydrological connectivity from the site to any nearby sensitive receptors, I consider that there is no real likelihood of significant effects on the environment arising from the proposed development. Therefore, the need for environmental impact assessment can be excluded at preliminary examination and a screening determination is not required. 6.0 The Appeal 6.1. Grounds of Appeal 6.1.1. The grounds of appeal can be summarised as follows: • This appeal is made under Section 48(10)(b) of the Planning and Development Acts, 2000, as amended, and as such solely relates to the Condition No. 1 of the Planning Authority’s notification to grant permission for the development sought under P.A. Reg. Ref. No. 19158. • The appellant is of the view that the Planning Authority in this case have incorrectly imposed the Development Contribution under Condition No. 1. • It is noted that under Appendix 3, Category 3(n) of the Development Contribution Scheme that a €10,420 contribution per past is set out. Notwithstanding, under ABP-304681-19 Inspector’s Report Page 6 of 16 Section 19(e) it indicates that there is a 100% exemption for the provision of broadband infrastructure in relation to telecommunications development which is solely for the provision of a broadband infrastructure where new development does not place a demand for new, upgraded

In total, over 1,350 structures were recorded. The Inventory should not be regarded as exhaustive and, over time, other buildings and structures of merit may come to light. The purpose of this introduction is to explore the social and historical context of the buildings and structures and to facilitate a greater appreciation of the architectural heritage of County Monaghan. The NIAH survey of the architectural heritage of County Monaghan can be accessed on the internet at: www.buildingsofireland.ie MAP OF COUNTY MONAGHAN From Samuel Lewis’ Topographical Dictionary of Ireland, published London, 1837. 3 JC946 NIAH_Monaghan Book(AW)_COUNTY MONAGHAN 18/06/2013 17:21 Page 4 AN INTRODUCTION TO THE ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE of COUNTY MONAGHAN Introduction Monaghan, an inland county in south Ulster, lies across the great drumlin belt formed by the movement and melting of a retreating ice sheet some 15,000 years ago. This process deposited mounds of boulder clay, and dense poorly draining soil in a great tract between Donegal Bay and Strangford Lough. This concentration of small hills, frequently interspersed with lakes, gives a pleasing and ever changing character to the local topography.

Monaghan, 1918 Subject. Irish Volunteer and I.R.A. activities, Co. Monaghan and Co. Cavan, 1918-1921. Conditions, if any, Stipulated by Witness. Nil File No. S.1823 FormB.S.M.2 STATEMENT BY JOHN McKENNA, Newbliss, Co. Monaghan I joined the Volunteers about 1918. One of the first duties I was asked to carry out as a Volunteer was to help at the East Cavan election. I travelled to East Cavan and did duty there on polling day.

In one night's poteen raiding in which; I and other members of the Newbliss Company took part, we destroyed poteen in the course of manufacture and. poteen making equipment to a value which was estimated at £800.

  • Chapter 14 Village Development Plans
    Monaghan County Development Plan 2013-2019 Chapter 14 Village Development Plans 14.1 Introduction County Monaghan has a strong village network providing basic services to the community. Under this Plan a total of 24 village settlements have been identified, which have been divided into two categories. The first category comprises ten villages, contained in Tier 4 of the settlement hierarchy for County Monaghan. All these villages were previously identified as Tier 4 settlements in the Monaghan County Development Plan 2007–2013. The second category comprises 14 smaller settlements which are defined as Tier 5 settlements in the hierarchy. The number of Tier 5 settlements has been reduced from a total of 25 under the Monaghan County Development Plan 2007–2013. No development limits have been included for the Tier 5 villages. This is a reflection of the changed economic circumstances and the limited uptake for development in these villages under the 2007-2013 Development Plan. It is anticipated that there will be limited development within these settlements, consisting primarily of single detached dwellings. 14.2 Tier 4 Settlements Tier 4 Settlements Ballinode, Emyvale, Glaslough, Inniskeen, Newbliss, Rockcorry, Scotshouse, Scotstown, Smithborough, Threemilehouse Development limits have been defined around Tier 4 villages to allow for appropriately scaled growth, to protect their character, and to prevent ribbon development and urban sprawl in the surrounding countryside (Refer to maps on subsequent pages). The development and growth of villages as service centres for local need is consistent with the National Spatial Strategy and the Regional Planning Guidelines. Within the development limits of these villages, the Planning Authority will normally grant 14 Village Development Plans planning permission for appropriate development proposals that are in keeping with the size and character of the settlement, can be accessed and serviced satisfactorily, and are appropriate in terms of use.
