Motorsport News are calling all motosport fans to sign this petition so I thought it would be appropriate to bring it to the attention off the Subaru Community

Petition to: introduce a green paper proposing ways, that, where complaints have been instigated by resident(s) against a long standing activity (for example, church bells, sports facility, local airfield and similar), and where residence has been ta

We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to introduce a green paper proposing ways, that, where complaints have been instigated by resident(s) against a long standing activity (for example, church bells, sports facility, local airfield and similar), and where residence has been taken up since the start of that activity (providing there has been no significant increase in activity), a presumption should be made to protect the continuation of that activity and reject such complaint.

There are increasing cases of new residents moving into a location, then to complain and campaign against activities that have taken place for many years, especially when such noise would or should have been obvious before choosing to live in the locality.

Effectively, I am proposing “Grandfather rights” to well established activities and a presumption of rights to continue. This would typically include moving near to a church, only then to complain about the bells, a playground only then to complain about children screaming or shouting, near a village airfield, then campaigning for its closure, a riding school, objecting to the horses, the noise of sports fans at a local pitch and other such long standing amenities or activities.

In addition to the benefits for those who have long enjoyed the facility, such a policy will ensure clarity for those making choices on places to live.

Please support this petition to protect long established activities with the presumption, that, providing there is no significant increase, such activities may continue; thereby protecting the traditions and facilities that make the UK such a great place to be.

I've already voted (on Ian's thread)..

Castle Combe is only 7 miles from me... and the NIMBY's in the village of Combe (mostly newcomers) just take the mike...

Geezer

Signed.

People like this really get my goat. We have a golf course nearby that was built with houses in the middle of it. Someone bought one of the houses off one of the original owners a few years ago and then started to complain to the extent they had to shut a particular hole then re-model that part of the course at great cost!

What did he think he was buying? Tw@t!

The noise restrictions there are such that you can hardly hear anything anyway.

I know! and yet they are still not satisfied...

Leslie

They have always been touchy about it and it is hard to believe why they can still such a load of spoil sports with all that has been done to satisfy them over their complants.
