INTRODUCTION
The subject property extends to approximately 9 acres (c. 3.64 Ha) and comprises:
- c. 3.5 acres (1.4 Ha) zoned Residential A under the Monaghan County Development Plan
- The remaining c. 5.5 acres are zoned as Existing Residential and Landscape Protection/Conservation. This area is integral to the proposed scheme, providing primary road access from Newtownbutler Road and public open space / recreational amenity as recommended by the Council's planning department.
- Direct road frontage onto Newtownbutler Road
- Site levels have been professionally surveyed (see site sections in brochure)
LOCATION
The lands are located on the Newtownbutler Road, adjacent to St Tighernach's Church of Ireland, Clones. The site lies within easy walking distance of Clones town centre and its full range of amenities including shops, schools, healthcare facilities and public transport. The area benefits from excellent road connectivity to Monaghan Town, Castleblayney and the wider border region.
DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL
A professional design study has been prepared by Architectural Consultants – Design Solutions, working in conjunction with Monaghan County Council Planning Department and incorporating their feedback.
Proposed Scheme (Conceptual):
Proposed Units - 45+ units (subject to planning)
House Types. - 3-bed semi-detached, 2-storey (c. 95m² living space) + small terraces
Public Open Space - Integrated use of Landscape Protection/Conservation zone as amenity/recreational space
Wildlife / Buffer Area - Rewilded area to serve as natural buffer for adjacent properties
Access - Via Newtownbutler Road through Existing Residential zone – new entrance proposed with tree colonnade
Adjacent Properties - Design care taken to avoid overlooking or overshadowing existing neighbouring house
This is a credible scheme based on direct engagement with the council's planning department. The layout is a realistic and deliverable use of the zoned land, with the wider site providing valuable amenity space.

Two pre-planning meetings have been held with Monaghan County Council Planning Department. The following key principles have been confirmed as acceptable in principle:
- Access from Newtownbutler Road
- Use of Landscape Protection zones as Public Open Space
- Overall layout and density (c. 45 units)
Catherine Toner of the Planning Department has confirmed she would be happy to discuss these issues and the proposed scheme with prospective purchasers.
