Old Sarum Airfield, an historic site from WWI, has received approval to develop 315 homes, including a minimum of 15 plots designed for self and custom builds. This will allow individuals and families the opportunity to create personalized homes within a uniquely historical context near Salisbury. The development will also allocate 25% of the homes as affordable housing. Concerns regarding aviation noise have been addressed by planning inspectors, noting significant reductions in flight activity, suggesting the project can advance despite potential community impact.
"The approved 18.6-hectare scheme, located near Salisbury, means serviced plots will be made available for individuals or families looking to design and build their own homes within a distinctive landscape shaped by aviation history."
"While noise from the airfield has been a significant issue for the surrounding community, with the conditions set for reduced flight activity and noise restrictions, I am satisfied that the development can proceed."
