RAF North Luffenham took enemy fire being bombed twice and also many men paid the ultimate sacrifice in operations or in training, for a common cause and set of beliefs.  That is a battlefield. We are at risk of losing our contemporary heritage.  We should recognise that.  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heritagegateway.org.uk\/Gateway\/Results_Single.aspx?uid=1421982&amp;resourceID=7\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.heritagegateway.org.uk\/Gateway\/Results_Single.aspx?uid=1421982&amp;resourceID=7\">https:\/\/www.heritagegateway.org.uk\/Gateway\/Results_Single.aspx?uid=1421982&amp;resourceID=7<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A listing attempt and judgment on the Officers&#8217; Mess<\/strong> &#8211; where the entry failed to have any depth of input.

The detail in the historic component does not recognise the role of North Luffenham in the Battle of the Atlantic. 1000 bomber raids or preparation for D Day.   <a href=\"file:\/\/\/C:\/Users\/garet\/Downloads\/SGB4%20-St%20George's%20Barracks%20Statement%20of%20Historic%20Significance%20(September%202018)(2).pdf\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"file:\/\/\/C:\/Users\/garet\/Downloads\/SGB4%20-St%20George's%20Barracks%20Statement%20of%20Historic%20Significance%20(September%202018)(2).pdf\">file:\/\/\/C:\/Users\/garet\/Downloads\/SGB4%20-St%20George&#8217;s%20Barracks%20Statement%20of%20Historic%20Significance%20(September%202018)(2).pdf<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Historic England&#8217;s guidance to departments disposing of heritage assets <\/strong>is here. <a href=\"file:\/\/\/C:\/Users\/garet\/Downloads\/Guidance%20on%20disposals%20final%20June%202010.pdf\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"file:\/\/\/C:\/Users\/garet\/Downloads\/Guidance%20on%20disposals%20final%20June%202010.pdf\">file:\/\/\/C:\/Users\/garet\/Downloads\/Guidance%20on%20disposals%20final%20June%202010.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This guidance suggests steps to be taken before planning applications are submitted and the need to counsult with planning authorites and the relevant herutage body.  Further work is required to see what &#8216;test&#8217; should be passed before demolishment etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The guidance provides good practice and advice such as &#8211; <em>&#8216;Large historic sites should be considered as a whole&#8217;. The disposal of large sites should be handled hostically to avoid isolating heritage assets and potentially damaging their setting.  <\/em>The plan to reduce the Officers&#8217; Mess to rubble and build houses does not meet this guidance at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is specifc guidance at Para 8.6 where the breakup of heritage sites can damage their integrity.  MOD is <strong>&#8216;picking off&#8217;<\/strong> the most profitable asset in isolation to the main site ( see para 8.6 about packagaing of disposals). This is not in accordance with the principles etsablished in the Guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rafnorthluffenhamheritage.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_6423-edited.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1195\" width=\"983\" height=\"737.25\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.rafnorthluffenhamheritage.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_6423-edited.png 2065w, http:\/\/www.rafnorthluffenhamheritage.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_6423-edited-300x225.png 300w, http:\/\/www.rafnorthluffenhamheritage.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_6423-edited-1024x767.png 1024w, http:\/\/www.rafnorthluffenhamheritage.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_6423-edited-768x575.png 768w, http:\/\/www.rafnorthluffenhamheritage.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_6423-edited-1536x1150.png 1536w, http:\/\/www.rafnorthluffenhamheritage.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_6423-edited-2048x1533.png 2048w, http:\/\/www.rafnorthluffenhamheritage.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_6423-edited-1200x898.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2>Additional Historic England references on listing and decisions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Thor missile complex &#8211; Listed Grade II <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/historicengland.org.uk\/listing\/the-list\/list-entry\/1400806?section=official-list-entry\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/historicengland.org.uk\/listing\/the-list\/list-entry\/1400806?section=official-list-entry\">https:\/\/historicengland.org.uk\/listing\/the-list\/list-entry\/1400806?section=official-list-entry<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2021 an application to additionally designate the site as a <strong>Scheduled Monument was declined<\/strong> for the reasons published at the link below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.heritagegateway.org.uk\/Gateway\/Results_Single.aspx?uid=1477255&amp;resourceID=7\">https:\/\/www.heritagegateway.org.uk\/Gateway\/Results_Single.aspx?uid=1477255&amp;resourceID=7<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Parallel to this an application was processed to list the two <strong>J-Type hangars<\/strong> at the former RAF North Luffenham.
