Plans to build a helicopter lift at the Grade II listed Cookham Dene estate faced mixed reactions from local residents in Bromley. Supporters viewed the project positively, recalling good memories of past helicopter usage, while others expressed concerns over noise pollution. Despite these differing opinions, council planning officers ultimately rejected the proposal, focusing on potential harm to the green belt land. They found insufficient justification for the lift's impact on the environment, emphasizing that concerns about helicopter noise were outside the scope of their decision-making process, as the application only pertained to the lift's construction.
The council planning officers decided to throw out the plans over fears it would harm green belt land, despite some support from neighbours.
Most concerns from neighbours about the helicopter lift related to noise, but the council didn't consider helicopter operations in their decision.
