Sooner or later the cloudbase will be around 2500 and there won't be parachuting, but plenty of £10/time GA aircraft willing to visit........

Being a regular visitor I do feel the jump aircraft ( C208) are actually quieter than a lot of traditional GA types - so the noise issues for local wont be any issue

As long as it is still an airfield it may become available to the great unwashed (us) again.

Absolutely not. Neither of my two nearest, Hinton-in-the-Hedges and Weston-on-the-Green are licensed.
With their current plans as stated, there is absolutely no reason for Old Sarum to remain licensed.
