A London council has rejected a proposal to build a subterranean helicopter lift in Chislehurstâs Green Belt area. The project, submitted by Matt Benaron, faced 12 objections from locals amid concerns it would allow for increased helicopter flights, disrupting their residential quality. Planning officials highlighted that the site, part of a Grade II-listed property, has historically allowed limited helicopter use. Neighbors fear that approval would classify the site as a permanent helipad, lifting restrictions on helicopter operations and leading to noise and disruption.
Chislehurst residents who opposed the development believed that the construction of the storage facility would increase the frequency of helicopter flights in and out of the property, negatively impacting their residential life.
Officers refused the planning application on the grounds that it would be an inappropriate development within London's Green Belt, citing the potential for increased helicopter operations.
