Vistry Homes’ decision to close Tollerton Airport to push for planning permission for 4,000 homes disregards the airfield’s vital role in general aviation, pilot training, and emergency services, including the Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire Air Ambulance. The premature closure, set for June 2025, before planning approval, threatens 70 local jobs, disrupts aviation businesses, and halts training programs, showing a lack of stakeholder engagement. The 2014 Local Plan inclusion overlooked aviation sector consultation, bypassing key users like flying schools and emergency services. This move prioritizes profit over community value, damaging Vistry’s reputation for social responsibility.
