Bit of a non-story if you actually look beyond the headlines? Ten properties covered by the action of which nine have been awarded compensation averaging £10k for loss in value?

They were test cases so this will open the gates for more payments. The class action was on behalf of 190 residential homes but no doubt if anyone in a given road or area gets a payment then that will also allow their neighbours to also claim.

The test case certainly adding to Stobart woes & proving the disregard of residential areas & residents in an unprofessional manner as previously highlighted.
The vulture fund buying into Stobart may also prove to be very interesting & quite predicable.

I had a look at the locations of some of the properties. There was a spread of locations including addresses in Rochford, Westcliff on Sea, Southend on Sea and Leigh on Sea. I am thinking maybe big money?

Surely, payments would only be settled on the sale of the affected property. Who can say what the value of a house may be in say 20 years time if not sold until then. This may turn out to be a long drawn out saga where only the lawyers profit.

The airport has been ordered to remove the thousands of pallets stored in one of its car parks as this is a breach of planning permission.
Still, not too much of a blow as they will need those parking spaces back soon.

Atmosphere Airlines. Maybe should be called Fantasy Airlines?
