Strandhill Airport Runway Planning Notice
February 6, 2007 | Leave a Comment
At a recent AGM of the Strandhill Development Association, there was disquiet regarding the proposed extension of the runway into Dorrins Strand. According to An Irish Town Planner’s Blog recounting from an Irish Independent piece
“The proposed €5m extension to the runway of Sligo airport at Strandhill will see the construction of a 270m platform onto the mudflats at Dorrins Bay, on its eastern end.
But locals claim that the development will destroy a safe recreational and bathing area as well as wiping out a nature reserve and bird sanctuary and ruining the livelihoods of several shellfish farmers.”
For those interested, there is a meeting planned for this week (thursday, 8th February) – presumably local press for more details. Details of the application are available on the Sligo County Council Website, planning number is 0722.
Closing date for submissions is 14th February.
