Concern over airport in Snowdonia National Park
21.04.08
An environmental charity has objected to plans to open a commercial airport within Snowdonia National Park. The former military airfield at Llanbedr near Harlech, Gwynedd, is being taken over on a 125 year lease.
The Snowdonia Society has written to the First Minister about their concerns of ‘pollution and a threat to tourism’. However, the assembly government said the airport development was a continuation of activity, which used to take place at the old airfield and was ‘in sympathy’ with the area.
The airfield was being taken over by Kemble, who already operate a private airport in the Cotswolds. The new operators are planning an open day and mini air show on August 20 to launch the new venture.
