An aircraft hangar at RAF Odiham could undergo part-demolition and refurbishment.

The aircraft hangar at Building 157 at RAF Odiham, Alton Road, could undergo a complete transformation after a screening opinion filed on January 28 revealed plans for refurbishment.

Works, on behalf of the Ministry of Defence, would include the full demolition and reconstruction of the existing store on the north elevation, removal and replacement of all roofing, an extension to the southern side, and replacement of all windows, doors, and concrete around the building.

The screening report reads: “The building is of some age and is in need of repair, modernisation and refurbishment.”

The National Air Traffic service has confirmed that the development is in line with their safeguarding criteria.

Hampshire County Council’s archaeologist has confirmed that they don’t anticipate significant archaeological impacts, although if the hangar is ‘pre-war or wartime construction’ then heritage issues may arise.

The matter is to be decided by Hart District Council and will reach consultation on February 18.
