Sligo Airport – Carpark Extension

Posted on July 1, 2009 | Filed Under Environment, Uncategorized 

Sligo Airport have advertised in this week’s Sligo Champion that they have submitted significant further information and revised plans in relation to their planning application to extend the airport carpark.

This development is taking place on a cSAC (Special Area of Conservation) and pNHA (National Heritage Area). Dorrins Group, An Taisce and Department of Environment made submissions outlining concerns about these plans.

Subsequent to that Sligo Co Co Planners requested a more detailed study to be conducted in relation to the impacts of this development and requested justification for the need for expansion.

The answers to these questions are now supplied in the Further Information.

We believe that the latest further information does not adequately answer the questions and concerns stated at the outset. We will therefore be making further submissions to the Planning Department outlining our concerns.

You can get further information about this application on the Sligo Co Co Website at this link
