The RAF Scampton building has been Grade II-listed amid plans to house asylum seekers at the site.
West Lindsey District Council previously said the former officers' mess building at RAF Scampton was "deteriorating rapidly"
West Lindsey District Council applied in March for the building to be listed amid government plans to house up to 2,000 asylum seekers at the site.The Home Office said "heritage assets" at the site would be protected. Welcoming the listing, Trevor Young, leader of West Lindsey District Council, said: "This recognition of the high degree of special historical interest, specifically the base's role in some of the most famous actions of World War II, is a really positive outcome for the site, particularly as there remains an element of uncertainty around its short-term future."
"We have been advising the government on the historic significance of RAF Scampton and the current physical condition of the buildings."Councillor Young said: "Custodians of listed buildings hold a privileged position, having an important role to play in protecting the nation's heritage for future generations.
