Abstract
This article examines the process of airfield re-use across rural England, highlighting the framework and realities of procedural planning control. In doing so, it illustrates how the re-use of airfield sites in the countrysi de raises issues of more general concern and mirrors wider debates within t he sphere of development planning. In short, we are concerned with both opp ortunities for land re-cycling on rural airfields and the debates which are likely to emerge as additional sites are re-developed.
