In answer to your question of what will it become...
I believe the DTV losses are just being used to offset the profits on the larger corporation books. Its all a number game with Peel who have very deep pockets. They weren't in a rush to do much with Shefffield, but land will always be valuable.
Question to the staff on the inside: Whats the DTV wage bill, without the other costs such as business rates, maintenance, lighting etc?
What will DTV become?
Someone once mentioned a wind farm. Peel have their own regeneration company OR will it become housing?
My bet is the latter as the council will want the council tax income from housing and will welcome the investment and wont object. Council tax income from estates such as Ingleby Barwick are in the many millions.
DTV has a better view than the expensive Wynard estate. Noow that the old chrome factory has closed any houses built on DTV land would be attractive to buyers.
The 6 local councils would now be sitting pretty if they hadnt given the airport away ten years ago for £500k.
