AERODROMES ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1971 - SECT 8

Power of district councils to provide aerodromes.

8.(1) A [district council] may, with the consent of the Ministry and subject
to such conditions as the Ministry may impose, establish and maintain
aerodromes, and provide and maintain in connection therewith roads,
approaches, apparatus, equipment and buildings and other accommodation.

(2) A [district council] may, for the purpose of exercising any of the powers
conferred on the [council] by subsection (1), acquire land by agreement or
compulsorily in accordance with section 2 which for this purpose shall have
effect as if references to an aerodrome undertaking included references to a
[district council].

(3) For the avoidance of doubt it is hereby declared that one of the purposes
for which a [district council] may acquire land under this section is the
purpose of securing that the land adjacent to the site of an aerodrome which
the [district council] have established, or are about to establish, shall not
be used in such manner as to cause interference with, or danger or damage to,
aircraft using the aerodrome.

(4) The powers conferred on a [district council] by the foregoing provisions
of this section shall be exercisable by that [council] outside, as well as
within, their area.

(5) Where any land is held by a [district council] for any purpose for which
land may be acquired under this section, the [district council] shall not,
without the consent of the Ministry, appropriate that land for any other
purpose or dispose of the land in any way.

(6) Without prejudice to the provisions of subsection (5) where a [district
council] hold any land solely for the purpose of securing that it shall not be
used in such manner as to cause interference with, or danger or damage to,
aircraft using an aerodrome of the [district council, the district council]
may sell the land subject to such conditions as the [district council] think
necessary to secure that the land will not be so used.
