Social problem

This habit of moving into an area and complaning is becoming a real problem for all sorts of people, members of the Hampstead set buy a rural cottage and then set the law onto local farmers because the cows moo to much or the church gets it because the bells are too loud.

There needs to be a change in the law that protects those who have used the land for years from those who move in and see a chance of boosting the property value by stopping some near by but long standing activity.

My understanding is the problems of planning restrictions that are making the long standing motor racing circuit at Malory park unviable have woken the motorsport industry up to this issue, and aviation shoud lend its support, perhaps AOPA, the LAA and BGA should get together to pursue this with the motorsport industry as a matter of common interest.
