Question Increased air traffic over Banbury (UK)

Being a resident of Banbury in Oxfordshire, I've noticed that there seems to be much more comercial air traffic over the town this last month or so. I was wondering if anyone knows of a change to flight paths which might have pushed aircraft directly overhead my address! I guess it might be something that happened a while back but has only become noticable since the seasonal increase in flights to meet the charter packages in Europe kicked in?

I guess the traffic is from either Coventry or Birmingham?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not some NIMBY with a bee in my bonnet about aircraft noise...but I would like to know if changes have been made, and if so - maybe those affected should've been consulted first? I've lived here for two years - so if the changes have come into place since then (as I suspect), then I think I have a case to maybe ask some questions...but if the flightpath has always been there, I don't have a leg to stand on.

Any light that can be thrown onto this would be much appreciated.

Regards
