The site is too contaminated to be preserved?
Former RAF Driffield, like most other military sites, will contain a low level of contaminates (mostly oil spillage and asbestos) that have accumulated over the years. For the MoD to dispose of the site, they first have to undertake a Land Quality Assessment, which will accurately assess the level of contamination, which can then be easily dealt with. Living or working on the camp will be no less hazardous than living or working on any new housing or industrial estate built on any brown field site.
