A council leader has called for 'proper' consultation on the future of an ex RAF base after the Home Office confirmed it won’t be used as a Greek-style asylum seeker processing centre
welcomed the “common sense” decision and there should now be consultation on the future of the 240-hectare site, which could be used for anything from housing or a solar farm.A working group, including Hambleton’s planners, is expected to meet in November to discuss options, with residents, councillors and the MP involved at a later stage in discussions.
The Ministry of Defence began closing the base in 2020, following the transfer of pilot training to RAF Valley on Anglesey, with just a handful of military personnel now remaining on site. He said: “It would be nice to see it back as an RAF base – at the end of the day all the facilities are there. It has a modern control tower, the old one was only replaced around six years ago."When it was an active base it brought growth to the local economy. What happens in future needs proper consultation – the problem was there was no consultation whatever.
