E Petition On Noise And Residency Near Motor Sport Stadiums


Recommended Posts

 

You're right, but wasn't it more the case that Mildenhall didn't have any specific noise restrictions in their planning permissions, therefore they had to ensure they were not causing a nuisance due the usual course of their actions? Coupled with the fact that their whole defence seemed to be "we were here first" which the courts roundly rejected.

 

As an outsider, it would seem that an amicable arrangement could have been agreed long before this reached court.

The Law really is an ass sometimes. :sad: :sad: :sad:

Don't I know it. Turns out that a new neighbour of mine is very anti-motorbike and has complained time and again to me about the 'excessive noise, which must be illegal" of my BSA. He's even tried to get other neighbours to side with him, with no success so far. It's no coincidence that the last time I rode it, the police were waiting in the next road to stop me and check that I and it were road legal because they had had a report of "anti-social, possibly illegal biking". They found nothing untoward. I only ride it in daylight hours so why can't he live and let live?

Because he's an a##ehole that's why.

 

Petition signed, it's not only speedway but all Motorsport Venues that are affected.

In the case of the objection of Mildenhall Speedway because of the noise that perhaps lasts for 2 hours on a Sunday afternoon for the summer months. Go just across the road and you have the USA base which is the busiest US base in Europe This operates 24 hours a day 365 days a year. Why do nobody object to this . Do Speedway bikes make more noise than jet planes. This case should have been laughed out of court.

Governments and their puppet masters don't have to abide by the laws that apply to the general population. Your comments illustrate this fact perfectly...

I think a lot of complaints JUST MIGHT relate to clearance of the track/stadium work on Saturday nights after the small oval car meetings have finished. I don't know how accurate this is but I recall hearing that this sometimes went on until 3 a.m on a Sunday morning. However, I add, I have attempted to get clarification of this time without success, so it could well be rumour. I have also been told that some people living in the Mildenhall Stadium area are unhappy that car races also take place on Saturday evenings. :unsure:

Taking this topic a step further, what will householders do next, try to remove a railway line because locomotives sound their horns as they pass by!

This anti-motorsport thing is getting out of hand and the petition needss to be signed by as many motorsports enthusiasts throughout the UK as possible.

So I will say, if you have NOT yet signed the petition do so for if you do not add your support, motorsports could eventually die out in the UK if these NIMBYS were to get their way!

Don't wait to sign it, DO IT NOW!!!

Sorry to ask for clarity Gustix, but do you mean car racing in the stadium or 'boy racers' around the streets of Mildenhall? :unsure:

Ray: as the thread is about noise in regard to Mildenhall Stadium I think this comment clarifies that it is in regard to NOISE FROM THE STADIUM?

Oh, I see. So what we are saying is, perhaps, if the car activity had finished at a reasonable time, say 10.30, with no further noise, Mildenhall wouldn't have an issue?

Sorry Ray. Interpret as you wish. I can't be bothered any more...! :sad:

I think it may not have been an issue - no. I must admit that I would probably be a bit narked if someone was making a racket at that time in the morning. Difference is though, I would not go to Law over the issue.

I have a farmer friend in Cornwall who found it was planned to build an estate of houses in a field adjacent to his silage pit, he objected to the development on the basis that the pit had been there for over 20 years and the local authority agreed that the PP would include recognition of the presence of the pit and a codicle added to the deeds removing from the new residentss the right to complain.

 

It took 3 weeks for the first complaint, he refered the resident back to his solicitor for not informing him of this condition contained in his deeds. End of story.

Its truly astonishing that someone buys a property next to a silage pit and then complains about it 3 weeks after moving in. I hope it stinks to high heaven.

 

While the farmer was absolutely right to take the action that he did and the local authority equally so to impose the conditions that they did, that really shouldn't have been totally necessary.

 

I doubt if there is anyone that would disagree that both planning permission and the fact that someone moves in next to a stadium should be highly relevant factors in determining a nuisance claim whatever the circumstances might be. Hopefully, this petition will be the first step in ensuring that they are.

Which suggests that whenever housing and being built anywhere near a speedway track we should all en masse write to the councils objecting so that it's put into the deeds that those people cannot complain. No good for homes already there but as Tesco like to tell us, "Every little helps"
