A place’s heritage forms a key part of its identity and distinctiveness. Consequently, the protection of the built and natural heritage forms an important element of the preparation of Local Area Plans. Heritage is protected through the planning system by designating buildings as ‘protected structures’. There are currently three protected structures within the village, comprising St. Nicholas of Myra Catholic Church, Kinsaley House, and the building currently housing the Malahide Portmarnock Educate Together National School (former Teagasc building). The road bridge on the Malahide Road is located on the LAP boundary and is also protected. The ruined church and graveyard to the north of the Chapel Road is also protected and lies just outside of the LAP boundary. Abbeville is a protected structure and is also located within the Abbeville Demesne Architectural Conservation Area located just outside of the LAP boundary. There are no recorded archaeological monuments located inside the LAP area, however archaeological investigation will be required when development occurs in order to ensure the protection of any undiscovered elements.
