The UK’s first aeropark is likely to be at Enniskillen Airport in Northern Ireland.
Developer Peter Day has signed an agreement with the landowner to purchase the site for the Enniskillen Aeropark, subject to planning permission.
“Which I am confident will be granted,” said Peter, “and lead to it being the first aeropark in the UK.
“Last Tuesday my planning consultant and I met with the two leading local Councillors and the Head of Development at Enniskillen Town Hall to discuss my scheme of ten Hangar Homes and one used as a Clubhouse adjacent to Enniskillen Airport,” continued Peter.
“The meeting was very positive and such a refreshing change from the negativity shown by Fareham Borough Council for my scheme of nine mixed-use hangars on Solent Aeropark, which was rejected but will be appealed after the Judicial Review on the badger survey.”
However, the houses in the Enniskillen Aeropark cannot be permanent homes.
“The local economy is based on tourism so the hangar homes must be used as holiday homes for pilots and their families, who could also rent them out short-term to other pilots and their guests.
“In addition to roadside and airside access, each hangar home will have access to Lough Erne via a private slipway to the river north of the site, for boating, fishing and even golf on the other side of the lake.”
