Boreham Airfield Control Tower ( Watch Room) to be demolished I am hearing

I have been told that the old watch tower at Boreham airfield used until recent weeks by NPAS and I think the Air Ambulance because the area is going to be for gravel extraction, most of the airfileds runways have gone over the past few years.
A real shame I have cycled up the old airfield many times even when it was home to Fords Development
Will be sad to see it go

I am guessing that the gravel is worth far more than a listed watch tower

Yes, it’ll be sad to see it go, especially as it’s been in use for so long.
I got to visit it 2-3 years ago, taking some Air Cadets there.

Shouldn’t have this been listed when all the others were about 10-12 years ago?
