Welcome:

 

Welcome to the SaveAirfield Campaign website.

 

The SaveAirfield Campaign is a loose confederation of people who are committed to saving Airfield house and farm in Dundrum, Dublin, from inappropriate development.   The estate was left in trust by the late Misses Letitia and Naomi Overend – see link “The History of Airfield and the Overends”.

 

The Campaign was started by Angela Lemass and Rose Mary Logue in late 2003 when the Trustees at Airfield proposed selling Dudley’s Field to fund a “Masterplan” designed by Solearth (see www.solearth.com ).  The link “The 2004 SaveAirfield Campaign” gives details of the way in which the public voiced their concern about proposed developments and succeeded in changing the zoning of much of Airfield land to save it from building development.

 

There is no SaveAirfield committee or any other formal structure.  Costs to date have been met by those involved and all work in connection with the Campaign is carried out on a voluntary basis.

 

SaveAirfield Campaign aims are:

 

1.                  To see the house and farm at Airfield maintained in line with the expressed wishes of Misses Letitia and Naomi Overend.

2.                  To ensure the estate is preserved as an open space for the benefit of the public and to save it from building development.

3.                  To have local representation on the Board of Trustees at Airfield

4.                  To achieve openness and transparency in matters connected with the Trust.
