Anyone living under a flight path will tell you one thing: it’s plane hell. For residents of Camberwell and other parts of South London it’s fast becoming a nightmare. 

The Plane Hell Campaign was born in response to local residents noticing an increase in the number of planes flying over a particular area of Camberwell, almost without a break, and starting as early as 4.30am.

The main issue for Southwark is noise from overflying aircraft on approach to land at Heathrow and London City Airports.

The Petition will go live shortly – keep watching the Campaign page on the Southwark CAN website.

We are 20 miles from Heathrow but there are already noise impacts on residents long before the proposed 3rd runway is built. Please write to your MP and emphasise the increased plane activity in recent months, using bigger aircraft, flying lower, flying more noisily, using new flight paths, with aircraft arriving more noticeably from 4.30am and continuing until 11.30pm.

Ask him or her to bring a debate in Parliament to

·  ensure residents achieve at least 7 hours sleep, the minimum recommended by WHO (World Health Organisation) for good health, and ban flights between 11pm – 6am.

·  ensure any remaining night routes avoid populated areas to mitigate the impact of aircraft noise

·  keep aircraft higher for longer by utilising Continuous Descent Approaches which reduce noise because they require less engine thrust

·  stop aircraft concentrating over SE5

·  stop the impact on mental and physical health caused by aircraft noise and aircraft pollution flying low over SE5

·  take the whine out of arriving aircraft 

It is important he or she knows how aircraft arriving in to Heathrow impact on residents in London SE5 and more widely across Southwark, 20 miles from Heathrow. Even before the proposed 3rd runway is implemented.
