Dear Frank

One possibility is to  put in a planning application for change of  
use to whatever you want to do there, plus any new permanent  
structures. If the application was in accordance with local plan  
policy and the National Planning Policy Framework, then the local  
authority , or failing that an appeals inspector, would be  
constrained  to give it to you. It would give you good publicity,  
raise public debate about the future of the site and might help to  
stave off eviction. It woudl cost a bit of money, but this could  
probably be found.
Cheers
Simon Fairlie
