Official record
Development description
The repositioning of existing fuel tanks used for the storage of aviation fuels ( jet a1 and avgas) and the upgrading of bund walls and security fencing surrounding these tanks. In addition, the existing emergency access gate from the private road is to be repositioned and converted for use to access this bunded fuel storage, and a replacement emergency access gate, also onto the private road, is to be provided immediately to the west of the repositioned gate. The above is to facilitate the safe and secure storage of aviation fuels on the site, a function which is ancilliary to its operations as an airport.
