It would be fair to say that that some house prices will fall due to activities at Southend airport. For a start some homes are now nearer the runway. Also compensation should not be based on flying activities now but on Stobarts own predictions for the future.
We have to remember that Stobart could make a lot of money out of Southend and for that money many residents will have to suffer more noise. It is irrelevant that they chose to live near Southend Airport because the airport is becoming a different beast. Also it was part of the planning permission that compensation would be payable.
