The owner of Cookham Dene manor house in Chislehurst, built in 1882, seeks approval from Bromley Council for an underground helicopter lair. This unique request includes a lift that blends into the landscape. While one facility is a car collection space, the helicopter base has drawn ire from neighbors concerned about noise and pollution. Interestingly, past owners occasionally used the garden for helicopter landings and supported the application. The planning application humorously notes local transport links, emphasizing the region's accessibility despite it being a luxury endeavor.
If approved by Bromley Council, the proposals would see a subterranean lift with a grass-covered lid. When in the closed position, the structure will blend in.
Unsurprisingly, the neighbours aren't too happy. Not so much with the underground lair as with the noise and pollution from the helicopter.
