2660385at the top, give your name and the address the authority should reply to, and confine it to planning matters — zoning objective, height, overlooking, traffic, drainage, heritage. What you say here is what you can later appeal on. - Pay the €20 fee.Every submission needs it; without it the observation is invalid and is returned. Monaghan County Council takes it online with the submission or at the counter.

Statutory basis. Section 34(1) of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended) requires a planning authority to consider any submission or observation made to it in accordance with the Regulations. Article 29 of the Planning and Development Regulations 2001 (as amended) sets the window: a submission or observation must be received by the authority within five weeks beginning on the date of receipt of the application, and must be accompanied by the prescribed fee of €20. A submission received after the window, or without the fee, is invalid and the authority must return it.
What the site is zoned
| Code | Objective | Plan | In force |
|---|---|---|---|
| C2.1 Economic development and employment | Industry/Enterprise/Employment: To provide for new industrial, enterprise and employment generating development and to facilitate the expansion of existing industrial and employment generating enterprises. | MO-037:DP:monaghan-county-development-plan-2025-2031 | 7 Jul 2025 → 1 Jul 2031 |
| C6 Waterfront | Existing Commercial: To provide for established commercial development and facilitate its appropriate expansion. | MO-037:DP:monaghan-county-development-plan-2025-2031 | 7 Jul 2025 → 1 Jul 2031 |
An application that accords with the zoning objective is hard to resist on principle; one that does not may be a material contravention, which the council can only grant by the s.34(6) procedure with its own notice and window.
