Wondering about Halton airfield likewise.
With the station not now closing until 2025 and Aylesbury Vale District Council apparently having 'no plans' for it, will it remain open as an airfield?
For housing, it would certainly need a lot of preparation work as a lot of the airfield has PSP/steel rod re-inforcement just below the surface and this would need to be lifted and the subsoil de-contaminated before they could build, but with all the vast camp area becoming available too, would it be needed for housing?
I think I read somewhere that the 2 main hangars are listed anyway.
