HOME AND HERITAGE: LOCAL NEWS AND VIEWS
Delgany Heritage Village
Delgany is a peaceful village with a rich history. It is located between the beautiful Wicklow mountains and the Irish sea. Just a 40 minute drive from Dublin city and a 5 minute drive to the DART rail station, it is well connected. The village of Delgany could be described as the last bit of countryside before the vast expanse of Dublin city and surrounding urban areas. W
ith its own castle, monastery, church, multiple forests, trails and a wealth of unique destination businesses, this tranquil village is a great place to be able to call home.
The Delgany community is represented by the volunteer-led Delgany Community Council and the Delgany Tidy Towns which you can find out more about here. We also feature amazing destination businesses which you can learn more about on our Local Biz tab.

Honeybrook Cottage Planning & Objections
Delgany Community Council will be objecting to the plans to demolish Honeybrook Cottage on behalf of the community. For those interested in submitting individual objections, all submissions have to be lodged by February 4th and they can be sent by email.
Delgany is a heritage village and has unique character as a result of its older buildings. As mentioned, the site in question is in an Architectural Conservation Area and deserves extra scrutiny as a result. As well as the loss of heritage we also have grace concerns regarding the impact on roads and traffic as well as the loss of habitat with felling of mature trees.
