Miscast protest

Miscast protest

The place name Airfield is in fact a corruption of the Scots name Aistfield, meaning Eastfield. It has never been connected with aviation in any shape or form. Your report, suggesting by implication that this is a brownfield site, would mean that under planning regulations there would be a presumption in favour of this development. Airfield Farm is in fact within a designated area of great landscape value, prime agricultural land and next door to a wildlife reserve that is designated a site of special scientific interest.
