play area incorporates fixed pieces of equipment some of them raised above
ground level as well seats and landscaped grounds to provide a high quality of
visual as well as recreational amenity to the play area. The recreational facilities

10. The village of Bagby is mainly to the north and north east of the appeal site.
There are also dwellings to the south and south west of the appeal site that are
affected by activities at the airfield. Flying activities arising from the operation of
the airfield also impact upon a wider area of villages within the Vale of York
particularly to the south of Thirsk.
11. The proposal is to demolish all of the old buildings on the Site except for the
largest aircraft hangar and replace them with a new range of hangars and
clubhouse and form new access to the site. Two modern hangars will also be
retained. The scheme would result in a mixed use development comprising
airfield club house and other airfield facilities including aircraft maintenance.
12. During the growth of the airfield, applications have been made for the use of
the grass air strip and for the construction of hangars and fuel. Full details of the
history are contained in the Appendix 2. This Appendix provides copies of the
Decision Notices and a narrative relating to the proposals.
13. Key dates and events in the airfield are given below.
