You're looking at the distances from the taxiway 'B' and 'C' intersections! The full-length ASDA is 1463m on 09 and 1462m on 27. The TODA is 1601m on 09 and 1639m on 27, so ample for an A319 with a light fuel load.

As a matter of interest, BEA used to fly the Merchantman into Guernsey. The only thing they had to do was reduce the tyre pressures to meet the LCN of the runway. (For those who say "Wot's a Merchantman?" it was the freighter conversion of the Vanguard.)
