LU1 4LR. Dear Sir/Madam, We have been sent information about the proposed London Luton Airport expansion as someone who maybe entitled to make a claim for compensation. We currently own the property address shown above. This site is occupied by elderly and in many cases vulnerable residents most of which are retirement age. The attraction of the site for many prospective purchasers is the country side location, which brings with it peace and tranquility. The airport expansion and near doubling of aircraft volumes will have a dramatic impact on the quality of life for our residents. It will also have a dramatic effect on our business in terms of the value of properties that we sell and this will have a knock on for many years to come, in terms of the resale values of the homes. The blight that will be caused by this will also significantly impact the pitch fees that we can charge residents as well. So we will be losing out on all avenues of income within our business, which has been operating since the 1960’s. This could have an impact on jobs and certainly further capital investment in the site in the future. We therefore look forward to seeing your proposed compensation package for this Government backed expansion at your earliest convenience.
