Abstract:		 Cornwall Council acquired the former airfield of RAF St Mawgan in 2006 and buildings for a new civilian airport were constructed on the north side of the main runway area. Part of the requirements to convert the site to a full CAA licence included construction of a new Air Traffic Control Tower as part of the civilian site. Cornwall Development Company, on behalf of CC, are developing options for the future of the old military air traffic control (ATC) tower and its immediate surroundings. The older ATC tower is the focus of the former RAF St Mawgan on the south side of the runways. Originally built as part of the war effort in 1943 it is a three-storey building with an additional observation cupola on its roof. This structure commands extensive views over a considerable part of mid-Cornwall and beyond. As well as the ATC functions the tower has housed a meteorological station and radar and telecommunications equipment. The original brick-built tower has been extended during its existence, with a two-storey wing created to the northwest and a single-storey wing to the southeast, to create more space and capacity for changing requirements. CDC requested Historic Environment Projects to carry out a photographic and descriptive survey of the former control tower, and buildings/structures within its immediate environs. This work is to inform the appraisal process and provide a record of the building in its current form. Potential future options include complete demolition and replacement of the building or retention and conversion to new uses, including office space and/or a restaurant.
