Main Problems

The main problems caused by Biggin Hill Airport and which are likely to be exacerbated by any expansion are:

• Low flying over densely populated residential areas
• Relatively long operating hours
• Over-flying of the Princess Royal University Hospital, St Mary’s hospital and numerous schools
• Difficulty in maintaining the lease conditions
• Additional traffic generated on congested roads in the Borough of Bromley and surrounding districts
• Increased air pollution and CO2 emission
