Save Nottingham Airfield

Aim

Nottingham City Airfield is a special place of recreation, community and STEM learning. Help us in the next stage of our mission!

Save Nottingham City Airfield Group (SNAG) urgently needs your help.

Rushcliffe Borough Council appears to be preparing to adopt the Gamston‑Tollerton Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) in its current form - despite serious gaps in key evidence on traffic, Highways, drainage, flooding and even viability. 

If the SPD is approved without a robust and lawful evidence base, our only remaining option will be to pursue a Judicial Review of the adoption decision.

Judicial Review is a vital safeguard which ensures public bodies follow the law, but it is also expensive, and is beyond the means of a volunteer community group without support. 

SNAG has been fighting tirelessly to protect the airfield, challenge flawed planning processes, and ensure decisions affecting thousands of residents are made transparently, with proper analysis and public accountability.

Legal action is expensive, and so we are raising funds in stages. 

Every donation, large or small, brings us closer to being able to challenge an unlawful decision and ensure our community is not steamrollered by poor planning.  

If you believe in fairness, evidence‑led policy, and giving local residents a meaningful voice, please help us fund this essential legal step. 

**Important note! If we don’t need to seek a judicial review at this stage, it is likely that we will need legal help later on anyway, so this money will be used for that.

(When we win our fight, any money leftover will be donated to aviation charities.)
