Permission for the scheme in Wicklow village of Delgany was challenged by 10 local residents in a High Court judicial review via IrishTimesBiz

The former Carmelite monastery, as a protected structure, would be retained with public open space in front of it.

Mr Justice Humphreys rejected various arguments made by the applicants, including their contention that the board’s decision was invalid due to its assessment of the impact the development would have on traffic in the greater Delgany area. The locals also challenged the National Parks and Wildlife Service’s grant of a derogation licence, permitting the potential disturbance of bats. He felt this element of the case did not crystallise until late in the hearing so he has offered the parties an opportunity to make further submissions on points relating to the derogation.
