July 27: Planning Resource magazine reports that the former Royal Air Force station at Coltishall in Norfolk could be designated a conservation area to “ensure that any future development does not harm its historic character”
RAF Coltishall was the only Battle of Britain airfield to have remained a front-line fighter station until its closure in 2006. Local planning authorities Broadland and North Norfolk District Councils say that the airfield has much historic interest ranging from the architecture to the “unique military graffiti in the hangars”, which date from the 1991 Gulf War.
Conservation status would manage any new development “to ensure that those qualities which warranted designation are sustained and reinforced, rather than eroded”. Some of the accommodation buildings have already been converted into detention centre for category C adult male sex offenders by the Prison Service and renamed HMP Bure.
Just think 20 years from now you will be able to take the kids and say, "look, this is what a military Airfield used to look like, back in the day when we had a Military, sadly all of the others have long gone".....
