Redlands Airfield Address: Redlands Farm, Redlands Airfield, Wanborough, Swindon, Swindon SN4 0AA, UK street in Swindon
Redlands Airfield, SwindonRedlands Airfield (X2SN) is an unlicensed private airfield in Wanborough, east of Swindon, Wiltshire, England. It is a few miles from junction 15 of the M4. The site also hosts a small organic beef farm of about 50 acres (20 ha).
Redlands Airfield started as a small microlight club in the 1980s which subsequently expanded into microlight training without planning permission. Flying ceased after neighbours objected to noise, then the airfield re-opened in July 1998 after being granted planning permission by Swindon Borough Council for a microlight flying club.
The airfield has been controversial ever since due to the nature of the planning permission and continued complaints of noise pollution to residents across a large area of North Wiltshire. Over the years, the airfield expanded to include microlight training and, in 2000, skydiving. The temporary assessment period for a skydiving club was cut short after the owners applied for early permission despite no flying having taken place due to the Foot and Mouth epidemic having closed the airfield. As a consequence there were no objections to the granting of planning permission. An agricultural barn received retrospective permission for microlight hangarage and a temporary moveable café was relocated to the barn without prior approval of the planning department who subsequently deemed it ancillary development. The expansion into skydiving with the London Parachute School heralded the beginning of many complaints about noise nuisance and a petition in 2005 objecting to this activity gathered nearly 1,000 objections. A mediator was engaged by Swindon Borough Council but without any result.
The first skydiving plane to fly from this site needed a longer runway than the grass strip of the microlight club. A new runway was constructed on a new alignment by removal of a hedge and pond without the prior approval of Swindon Borough Council.
Organisations based at the airfield include Redlands Microlight Club, Clearprop Microlight School and Skydive London. There is a café, open at weekends only, for the use of those using Clearprop or Skydive London. The planning permission does not allow use of the café by the general public.
Visiting microlights are welcome at Redlands with PPR.
