Halfpenny Green has been in decline for many years. Most of the taxiways are strewn with chippings. My nose wheel spat suffers more stone chips every time I go there. What should be the main runway was chewed up by jet efflux and remains shut and is unlikely to reopen without the planned housing. The other two runways offer the option of landing on a slope or an aircraft carrier.
It's hard to say what's for the best. At least see some money put into resurfacing and hangarage before the field closes in years to come or see it sold off in the near future and lose it altogether.
Either way, like others, I'm sure the NIMBY's will win in the end. At least enjoy the field for now.
