flying and flight training, both for fixed wing aircraft and helicopters.
The tarmac runway is in good condition, oriented roughly north east
– south west in direction and extending to 924 metres approximately.
The hangars, which were recently constructed, are to a high
specification. The tower is connected to the Dublin radar system

150 car spaces throughout the site.
Westonpark House comprises an attractive two storey period
dwelling with it’s own entrance driveway and gate lodge off the
Celbridge Road. The property is of traditional stone and render
construction under a pitched slate covered roof. The front elevation

need of refurbishment and modernisation. Immediately to the front
of the house is a gravel-surfaced parking area for approximately 3
to 4 cars with gardens laid to lawn at the front, sides and rear of the
house. The gardens are surrounded by miniature hedge boundaries

Within Kildare County Development Plan 2011 –
2017, Chapter 6 outlines the council’s approach
to Aerodromes and has a number of specific
policies. GA 3 states that any increase or change

by the Kildare County Council on the impact that
may arise from the action. GA 1 does encourage
the ‘extension’ or ‘improvement’ of any airport
related buildings, offices or ancillary areas. GA 1
also states that the Council will consult and coordinate
with South Dublin Council in all matters
relating to the airport.

freehold. Approximately 1.11ha (2.73 acres) is
