Since 2010 I have participated in several Scampton related consultations, albeit not with the current Scampton Holdings. From my perspective the interesting comment in the government link was the choice to use the general phrase “Crown land”.
That is defined as: “A term often used to cover a variety of categories, such as: land belonging to The King as monarch; The King’s private property; properties of the Duchies of Cornwall or Lancaster; or Government land. To avoid confusion, more specific terms can be used, such as the Crown Estate or central government property.”

Another interesting (complicating?) factor flagged for the Scampton location is the remains of the Roman villa, which I believe may refer to the following site:

Lots likely to happen before genuine progress is made, not least the potential changes to local government structures that are being ‘promoted’.
