    DEVELOPMENT AND INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES PLANNING, PROTECTIVE SERVICES AND LICENSING COMMITTEE 22 nd April 2015 ______________________________________________________________________________ MACHRIHANISH AIRBASE: MAST 1/10 and PDA 3001 and AFA 14/7 MASTERPLAN REPORT ______________________________________________________________________________ 1. INTRODUCTION Within the ‘Argyll & Bute Local Development Plan’ (March 2015) the land associated with the former RAF Machrihanish air base has been identified as a Strategic Masterplan Area for green energy/strategic business related development. The majority of the site has been designated as Area for Action 14/7 in recognition of the redevelopment and inward investment opportunities it affords. The extreme western end of the site has been designated separately as PDA 3001 for low density ‘up market’ housing development. The airfield has a history of occupation by the RAF, the US military and NATO forces. The longest runway in Scotland was constructed at the base during the 1960’s although following the end of the Cold War the base reverted to ‘care and maintenance‘ status which enabled part of that runway to become used for civilian aviation. Campbeltown Airport operated by HIAL now utilises the eastern end of the runway. Prior to total demilitarisation of the site, land surplus to MoD requirements was made available for commercial development. That included the disposal of the former military housing associated with the base (now private housing at the Sound of Kintyre) and the development within the confines of the base of large wind turbine tower manufacturing plant. Ultimately, the base was disposed of by Defence Estates in 2012 to the Machrihanish Airbase Community Company (MACC), a venture established for the purposes of acquisition, management and development.
