According to Weston Airport Aerodrome they propose using some of the existing hangers for the purpose of servicing and operating SAR (Search and rescure) Helicopters from 1st of July 2025 This raises a number of questions: A. There is already a Planning Permission granted by SDCC Reference SD23A/0324 in relation to the provision of this service from a different location within the Aerodrome. B. As you should be aware this decision was appealed by myself and others to An Bord Pleanala and a decision is still awaited on this appeal C. Do the plans to operate a similar service from 1st July 2025 from the exiting hangers not require planning permission? D. Operating a SAR facility means there will be night flying. I am not aware of any decision to permit such flights at this location E. Surely there must be conditions attached to this type of operation -flight paths etc. The Airport is in close proximity to three major towns; Celbridge, Leixlip and Lucan. And Maynooth is no far away either. F. It interesting to note the intention of using the existing facilities to fun the SAR operations from the existing buildings when one of the main arguments put forward in their planning application (SD23A/0324) was that it was not possible to do that.
