Cholesbury-cum-St Leonards Parish is currently affected by noise from aircraft using the Compton SID. This is especially true when many flights deviate to the south of the prescribed track over higher ground. There are also frequent low level flights arriving to make an easterly approach. Allowing flights to increase from 18 million to passengers 32 million passengers pa will exacerbate the noise intrusion - especially at night. We are also concerned that the prospect of future changes to the flight paths could be highly adverse to our community. We are mindful that proposed alterations to flight paths made in 2010 would have been disastrous for our communal well being.
