The paddock behind the gardens looks fairly big and down to hay, couldn't they get permission to clear an heli-pad there, say 100yards away from the houses?
On seeing the photograph, that was my initial reaction too.
Forgive me..
I cant tell from the photo if the house is doubled glazed...
If it isn't, how would the press and public respond to a large group of sympathetic pilots pitching in to double glaze the front of the old dears property...
Would help keep her warm in winter too.....
Double glazing, the type used to keep houses warm, does virtually nothing to create any form of sound proofing. To provide any measure of sound proofing the air gap needs to be about 10 cms........
