The site lies within the Hullavington Airfield Conservation Area and contains two non-designated hangars which are the focus of development proposals. Reference should be made to the accompanying plans submitted as part of the planning application for technical detail. Other documents have been referred to in the writing of this report and should also form important background reading for the report. These include (but not exclusively) the statutory list descriptions for nearby listed buildings, and national and local government policy. 1.1 Aims and Objectives The aim of this Heritage Statement is to describe the significance of built heritage assets affected by the proposed development and assess the impacts of the proposal upon their significance, including their settings, as required by the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). The objectives of this Heritage Statement are: Identify and describe the significance of designated and non-designated built heritage assets affected by the proposed development, including the contribution of their settings to their significance; and Assess the impacts of the proposed development upon their significance, including their settings. 1.2 Scope The NPPF definition of heritage assets has been used in preparing this Heritage Statement: A building, monument, site, place, area or landscape identified as having a degree of significance meriting consideration in planning decisions, because of its heritage interest. Heritage asset includes designated heritage assets and assets identified by the local planning authority (including local listing). Although this Heritage Statement considers the historic background to the application site, it focuses on the setting of built heritage assets and is not an Archaeological Desk-Based www.wyg.com creative minds safe hands 1 Hullavington Airfield, Wiltshire - Hangars 85 and 86; Heritage Statement Assessment. A separate Archaeological Desk Based Assessment has been prepared in support of the application and forms part of the submitted planning documents. The Heritage Statement does not aim to provide a justification for any identified harm to heritage assets, nor does it detail any alternative, potentially less harmful, schemes that have not been carried forward in the proposed scheme. 2.0 Site and Development Description 2.1 Site Description Hullavington airfield is located north of Chippenham and between the villages of Hullavington, to the south-west, and Stanton St Quintin and Lower St Quintin. It is approximately centred on National Grid Reference ST 989697 80804. The airfield is irregular in plan and is bounded to the east by Buckley Barracks and to the west by the linear settlement of Hullavington. The application site lies within the former airfield and comprises an irregular, roughly- triangular, shaped piece of land towards the south-west end of the airfield, accessed via an existing tarmac road from its north-east side. The site is bordered by open land to its south and south-west sides, Stock Wood to its north side, and the former airfield’s access routes and runway to the north-east and east. Within the site the tarmac access route provides access into and around two large existing hangars (85 & 86), arranged in an L-shape. Within the re-entrant angle of the ‘L’ there is a parcel of grassland which is the proposed site of the temporary car park. 2.2 Development Description The application proposes the conversion of Hangar 86 into an office and design studio/workshop area, minor alterations to Hangar 85, the creation of a temporary car park, and the erection of a small energy centre to the north-west of Hangar 86, adjacent to the existing boiler house. The alterations to Hangar 86 involve the removal of the lean-to structures on its north-east and south-west sides, and on the south-west side their replacement with a single-storey, service yard and plant rooms using an expanded metal mesh green wall system. A yard area will be added to the north side of the building, again using the expanded metal mesh green wall system. With the removal of the lean-to structures, new entrances will be created in the centre of the north-east and south-west walls in the place of existing fire escapes and, on www.wyg.com creative minds safe hands 2 Hullavington Airfield, Wiltshire - Hangars 85 and 86; Heritage Statement the north-east elevation, three large, ground floor, windows will be inserted to the south of the new entrance.

C ONTENTS TO J UNE 2017 AIRFIELD REVIEW The Journal of the Airfield Research Group The journal was initially called Airfield Report , then ARG Newsletter, finally becoming Airfield Review in 1985. The number of pages has varied from initially just 6, occasio- nally to up to 60 (a few issues in c.2004). Typically 44, recent journals have been 48. There appear to have been three versions of the ARG index/ table of contents produced for the magazine since its conception. The first was that by David Hall c.1986, which was a very detailed publication and was extensively cross-referenced. For example if an article contained the sentence, ‘The squadron’s flights were temporarily located at Tangmere and Kenley’, then both sites would appear in the index. It also included titles of ‘Books Reviewed’ etc Since then the list has been considerably simplified with only article headings noted. I suspect that to create a current cross-reference list would take around a day per magazine which equates to around eight months work and is clearly impractical. The second version was then created in December 2009 by Richard Flagg with help from Peter Howarth, Bill Taylor, Ray Towler and myself.

  • The Evolution of British Airborne Warfare: a Technological Perspective
    The Evolution of British Airborne Warfare: A Technological Perspective By Timothy Neil Jenkins A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of History and Cultures University of Birmingham July 2013 i University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract The evolution of British airborne warfare cannot be fully appreciated without reference to the technological development required to convert the detail contained in the doctrine and concept into operational reality. My original contribution to knowledge is the detailed investigation of the British technological investment in an airborne capability in order to determine whether the development of new technology was justifiable, or indeed, entirely achievable. The thesis combines the detail contained in the original policy for airborne warfare and the subsequent technological investigations to determine whether sufficient strategic requirement had been demonstrated and how policy impacted upon the research programme. Without clear research parameters technological investment could not achieve maximum efficiency and consequent military effectiveness. The allocation of resources was a crucial factor in the technological development and the fact that aircraft suitability and availability remained unresolved throughout the duration of the war would suggest that the development of airborne forces was much less of a strategic priority for the British than has previously been suggested.
