Protect RAF Barnham’s nationally important heritage and protected habitats — 11 signatures. Status: rejected.
RAF Barnham is an unsuitable site for large-scale asylum accommodation due to its nationally important Cold War heritage, protected wildlife habitats and breeding birds, and the significant impact on a small rural community. The Government should choose a more appropriate location.
RAF Barnham is a nationally important heritage site surrounded by internationally protected wildlife and close to schools and nurseries. Housing around 1,200 asylum seekers here would fundamentally change a village of around 620 residents and risk harm to protected heritage, nature and the local community. Choose a more suitable site. Once these nationally important assets are damaged, they cannot be replaced.
