If you are affected by aircraft noise due to Dulwich/ Herne Hill being constantly overflown by planes to Heathrow, please respond to the consultation about future flight paths. Ideally all areas under flight paths would be given some respite, whereas current policy is to concentrate planes in narrow flight paths which means less people are impacted but disproportionately badly (rather than the noise being shared around fairly).


Please note the deadline is 28 March.

Some useful pointers from HACAN at this link: http://hacan.org.uk/

(see under ?Shaping 2018 - safe, fair and equitable flight paths?)


Thanks in advance

I agree there are good reasons for having narrow flight paths. There are also good reasons for rotating flight paths to give those under them some respite. Dulwich/ Herne Hill is constantly flown over by Heathrow planes when the wind is westerly, which is the vast majority of the time - see www.flightradar24.com In addition, when the wind is easterly we are then constantly flown over by City airport planes.


I appreciate some parts of Dulwich/ Herne Hill suffer more than others - my house is directly under the flight path for both routes but some people just half a mile away will suffer much less noise.


In any event there will be 700 more planes flying to/ from Heathrow once the third runway is built so even more people will be impacted in future. Now is the chance to have your say on the principles relating to flight paths.

    • I thought the most they sell in terms of hot food at londis is like pastries and sausage rolls and for hot drinks its like costa coffee but its always a convenience store. Doesn’t look too bad in my opinion considering that shop has been closed down ever since i moved here
    • Hi Busterb, Yesterday I turned up with a scanner & towels, hoping to take a deceased tabby down to TNV. The body was moved moments before arrival & had not been turned in to any vets, rescues or animal hospitals. I am wondering if this could have been the same cat & if someone just tried to move the tabby further away from the road. Please be warned, viewers discretion is advised. but this is what the deceased tabby looked like: https://www.facebook.com/groups/900015513463302/permalink/3729980853800073/  In any case, if you haven't been able to get someone to scan or take down to a vet, I can scan tomorrow morning.
