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
