Waterford Airport developer granted permission for padel courts at popular location
Planning permission has been granted for the construction of two new padel courts in Tramore
Waterford Airport developer William Bolster has been given the go-ahead to construct padel courts at a popular location.
Planning permission has been granted for the construction of two padel courts at the Newtown Practice Range in Tramore.
The development will consist of a playing court surface enclosed with fencing of tempered glass, steel mesh and netting, creating two separate units.
A number of associated site works will also be carried out.
The courts will be associated with the Newtown Practice Range and access to the courts will be through the existing entrance off the Newtown Glen Road.
Users of the courts will also have full use of the Newtown Practice Range’s existing toilet access and amenities.
The Newtown Practice Range is part of the Bolster Group and the application in question was made by the group’s owner, William Bolster.
The application was submitted by Mr Bolster on November 12, 2025.
Waterford City and County Council granted permission for the development on July 8, with seven conditions attached.
