with nothing at Govt level really being done to step in at Plymouth, the likelyhood of Old Sarum being repossessed for the sake of GA is slim.
However, with Wellesbourne being compulsory purchased, there is a precedent if is saves employment. I don't know what the actual arguments were that convinced the local authority at Wellesbourne to act, but maybe that is the route Old Sarum tenants should use.
Or join forces and try to form a co-operative to buy the place as it stands. If there is no indication that planning will be forthcoming for housing, and there are covenants requiring it remains an airfield, they might just be happy to off load it.

The quickest way to fall out with people is, discuss politics.
