MoD working with US Air Force on RAF Lakenheath upgrades
West Suffolk Council is expected to make a decision by 3rd December.
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) is working with the US Air Force on proposals for new military facilities at RAF Lakenheath, with three planning applications now submitted to West Suffolk Council.
The applications relate to the construction of a munitions facility, a conventional munitions project, and work involving precision guided missiles, according to the brief descriptions provided.
Specific details about the scale or design of the new buildings have not been made public. The MoD confirmed the partnership, with a spokesperson saying, “We are working with our US Air Force partners on plans for new facilities at RAF Lakenheath.”
The base, off Brandon Road, is a key site for both UK and US military operations in the region.
