It is essential that Airfields have Safefuarding Plans as without this they run a higher risk of facing problems in the future, for example having to fight planning applications that are granted or well on the way to being granted, with no consideration of the Airfield’s interests.
Following the recent publication of the revised CAP 738 and further appeal decisions this advice sheet (GAAC FACT SHEET No. 12) is currently under review. If you have any queries on a Safeguarding matter please contact us direct on planning@gaac.org.uk to discuss your situation.
