Plans for new long-term car park as part of Waterford Airport redevelopment
The car park has been included in plans submitted to Waterford City and County Council
There are plans for a new long-term car park at Waterford Airport as part of its redevelopment.
A planning application has been submitted for a major extension to the terminal building at Waterford Airport.
Included in this application are plans for a new car park, which is set to be located to the south west of the existing terminal.
The proposed long-term car park will contain a total of 174 spaces, five of which will be disabled spots.
This new development will add to the existing car park at the airport, which will be reconfigured to be used for short-term parking.
That car park will contain 234 spaces, bringing the total number of paid parking spots at the airport to 408.
There are also plans for a small car rental area, which will contain 39 parking spaces.
As well as that, there will be nine set-down spaces, four taxi spaces and three bus spaces.
Furthermore, there are plans for a bicycle shelter with the capacity for 30 bikes.
It is understood that a one-way system will be in operation on the grounds of the airport to allow for the flow of traffic.
A planning application in relation to the plans was submitted to Waterford City and County Council on Friday last and is currently at the pre-validation stage.
