The current position is that the Government is assessing whether the site could potentially be used as asylum accommodation. No final decision has been made, no planning application has been submitted, and the site is not currently operating as asylum accommodation.

We are committed to keeping you informed and will share verified updates as they become available. For further information about the homes, local area or former RAF site, please refer to the FAQs below or contact us.

No. The Government is currently assessing whether the site could potentially be used for asylum accommodation. No final decision has been made.

No. At present, no planning application has been submitted.

The assessment process is expected to take several months. Any proposal would need to go through the relevant assessment, planning and approval processes before it could proceed.

The Home Office has stated that occupation would be introduced gradually and that the site would be managed by an experienced accommodation provider.

According to the Home Office, the site would include:

  • Permanent 24-hour security
  • CCTV monitoring
  • Controlled entry and exit procedures
  • Working arrangements with the police, local authorities and community partners

There are currently no operational changes at the former RAF site, as no final decision has been made and the site is not being used as asylum accommodation.
