RAF Bentley Priory is up for sale. This will result in the destruction of, what should be, a site of National Heritage. The site was the location of Dowding\'s HQ during the Battle of Britain. The plan is to build housing on this site. This cannot be allowed to continue.
I am currently finalizing a formal letter to the local planning department to register our opposition to the proposed housing development. Several heritage organizations reached out yesterday to discuss the historical significance of the site and potential strategies for preservation. We are now preparing a detailed brief for those offices to ensure the full context of the Battle of Britain headquarters is documented.

This is absolute madness. You cant just sell off our history for a few more overpriced flats. Keep your hands off!
