I think the buyers of the house only have themselves to blame for not doing their homework on the area, complaining is just so selfish. We get people down here buying places next to the local airport (Shoreham) and then complaining about the light aircraft, conveneintly forgetting that the airport was built in 1910 and most of the houses post 2nd war all round the airfield.
Then there's those terrible townies that buy a place in the country and then moan about the smells, cows mooing or cockerells crowing.  |
My flying club has a similar issue with neighbours. Three houses have been built, in the last four years, by some Z-listers, at the end of our runway. They never fail to complain at least once week. I can't imagine the conversations they had with their architects, agents, managers, builders and planning consultants:
"Aerodrome? Just build it and I'll use my celebrity status to close it down when it's finished!" LOL, they haven't even made a dent. In fact, I have heard it being suggested that some pilots extend their take-off roll a bit more now, just to pee them off. I can't see it myself, because that would not be very good practice.
