*HLR – Housing Land Requirement

Amendments to text of Monaghan County Development Plan 2019-2025.

In addition, the following amendments to the text of the Monaghan County Development Plan 2019-2025 apply (highlighted in yellow):

Chapter 11, Carrickmacross Settlement Plan 2019-2025, Section 11.2 Strategy and Vision, paragraph 2:

“The Core Strategy set out in Chapter 2 of the plan projects that the population of Carrickmacross town will grow to 6,052 over the Plan period and a housing land requirement of 25.19 hectares is being provided within settlement boundaries in order to accommodate the projected growth. In this settlement strategy Carrickmacross is identified as a Tier 2 Strategic Town that will be promoted in driving growth and economic development in the south of County Monaghan.

Chapter 12 of Castleblayney Settlement Plan, Section 12.2 Strategy and Vision, paragraph 2:

The population of Castleblayney declined from 3,634 to 3607 between 2011 and 2016, equating to a population decline of 0.7%. Notwithstanding this decline during a period of economic downturn it is projected that the town’s population will grow during this Plan period to 4,236 by 2025. The Core Strategy set out in Chapter 2 of this Plan further indicates that a housing land requirement of 14.9 hectares should be provided within the settlement boundaries in order to accommodate this projected growth and support the function of Castleblayney as a Tier 2 Strategic Town within the County Monaghan Settlement Hierarchy. Recent development levels indicate that the town has recovered and is expanding its residential, retail, industrial and commercial base. It is the aim of this Plan to assist and direct development in the town over the plan period with an emphasis on developing the town’s main assets, which include its strategic location, both nationally and in relation to Northern Ireland, and its potential for tourism based on recreation in and around Lough Muckno.

Chapter 13 of Clones Settlement Plan, Section 13.4 Strategy and Vision, paragraph 3:

Table 2.4 in Chapter 2 (Core Strategy) of this Plan projects that the population of Clones will grow to 2018 persons over the plan period. A housing land requirement of 10 hectares is provided for within the settlement boundaries in order to accommodate this projected growth. In this strategy Clones is identified as a Tier 3 service town where the regeneration and renewal of the town centres is being promoted in order for town centres to continue its function in providing local services.”

A copy of the development plan as varied is available for inspection at the planning offices of Monaghan County Council during opening hours from 9.15am – 5pm (lunch time closing 1:00 – 1:30 p.m.) and on the Council’s website www.monaghan.ie

HISTORIC STRUCTURES FUND 2024

Monaghan County Council is now inviting applications under the Historic Structures Fund (HSF) 2024.

Overview

The primary focus of the Historic Structures Fund is on conservation and enhancement of historic structures and buildings for the benefit of communities and the public. It aims to enable conservation works to be conducted on heritage structures which are deemed to be significant and in need of urgent support. The scheme is designed to assist the owners and/or occupiers of structures/properties that are protected under the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended). Monaghan County Council’s Planning Section will administer the funds.

Project promoters are encouraged to incorporate a traditional skills training element in the project. Applications in respect of refurbishment or reuse projects involving heritage structures, and where a clear residential benefit is demonstrated, will be welcomed (subject to obtaining any necessary planning approvals).

The Historic Structures Fund 2024 will be structured as follows:

  1. Stream 1 will offer grants from €15,000 up to €50,000 and is aimed at essential repairs and smaller capital works for the refurbishment and conservation of heritage structures. The maximum grant award will be 80% of eligible costs.
  2. 2. Stream 1, Historic Shopfronts sub-stream is aimed at incentivising the refurbishment and conservation of historic shopfronts and Irish-language shopfronts and will fund small capital works to their facades, windows, signage and other associated details. The maximum grant award will be 80% of eligible costs.
  3. Stream 2 will offer a small number of grants from €50,000 up to €200,000 for larger enhancement, refurbishment or reuse projects involving heritage structures, where:
  4. a clear community or public benefit has been demonstrated, or
  5. a clear residential benefit has been demonstrated

 (subject to obtaining any necessary planning approvals).

Successful applicants will be required to, at a minimum, match their funding award by 50% of eligible costs. In exceptional circumstances a higher percentage may be sought, subject to a maximum of 80% of eligible costs. Grant may be phased over two years (Stream 2 only)

  1. Vernacular Structures Stream – will offer funding of between €5,000 and €10,000 to support conservation repairs and small capital works for the refurbishment and conservation of vernacular structures that are not listed in local authority Records of Protected Structures or otherwise legally protected to safeguard the structure and keep it in use. Such structures may be located within an Architectural Conservation Area or comprise ‘informal’ traditional buildings, which are a significant part of our intangible cultural heritage. The maximum grant award will be 80% of eligible costs.

Projects in Partnership – The Minister may designate part of the Fund for projects in partnership with State-funded organisations such as the Office of Public Works, the Irish Heritage Trust, Waterways Ireland, The Irish Landmark Trust and others, to care for historic structures and buildings in public ownership and improve recreational infrastructure and public access to these heritage assets.

Funds will be determined on a case-by-case basis.

Eligibility

Streams 1 and 2, Historic Shopfronts sub stream and Partnership Projects:

In respect of projects categorised under Streams 1 and 2, the Historic Shopfronts sub stream and any Partnership Projects designated by the Minister the categories of structures/properties eligible for funding under this scheme are:

  • Protected Structures: Structure in the Record of Protected Structures (RPS) of each Local Authority
  • Proposed Protected Structures for Inclusion in the RPS but not yet formally approved for inclusion. Such structures must meet the criteria for inclusion in the RPS by the Local Authority i.e must be of special interest from an architectural , historical , archaeological , artistic , cultural , scientific, social or technical point of view.
  • Structures/properties in Architectural Conservation Areas or within the amenity of a National Monument, where exceptional circumstances apply.

Eligible projects will be as follows:

  3. c) projects with a clearly defined heritage focus and community or public benefit proposed directly to the Department by a State-funded organisation working in the heritage area.

Vernacular Structures Stream

Vernacular structures are the buildings and other built features of what can be termed the ‘informal’ or vernacular landscape. Vernacular builders worked within traditional systems using techniques passed down within the family and local community. Thus, the vernacular is a significant part of our intangible cultural heritage.

In respect of the Vernacular Structures Stream applications can be accepted from the following:
