They use ‘unexpected’ when they should use ‘planned but concealed’.
They built a house (with no noise mitigation) in 2018 within spitting distance of the airport and now they’re surprised that the planes are loud.
People will of course say “well you live near an airport stop complaining” but DAA is in clear breach of its planning approval, you can’t put in a noise mitigation plan and then move the flight path.
While I feel sorry for people who live in houses that are there since before the airport, in this instance, I have zero sympathy for this family.
If you build in St Margaret’s: presume there’ll be planes.
This article should really be titled: “I bought a house right next to an airport and now I’m regretting my decision by blaming the airport”
He’s dead right, DAA are taking the absolute piss:
“”Right now, we are seeing homes, communities, and schools that were never supposed to be hit by noise, being severely impacted. While other areas, where development was not allowed and homes were insulated, are not impacted at all,” Mr Carey added.”
Imagine buying or building around St Margaret’s. Like what goes through peoples heads when picking a place right beside an airport.
Place is going to end up being part of Dublin airport sooner or later.
Think this is bad? Look at the plans for Heathrow’s expansion. There’s two villages planned to be wiped off.
Planning permission was granted to the new runway in 2007. It was always going to be built at some stage and routes were always subject to change. Very difficult to have much sympathy considering they could have integrated sound proofing and insulation when building their home.
>>”We thought that everything would be absolutely fine because it wasn’t anywhere in the planning that this was actually going to happen.”
Their home is in St Margaret’s. St Margaret’s is almost as close to the airport as both terminals. Hard to believe how someone can be so naive.
It’s mad that a handful of people could stymie the progress of the largest airport in the country. Especially people who moved there in 2018.
As soon as someone makes a comment like “living in a warzone” I ignore the rest of what they are saying, because they are sounding alarmist from the onset. lol
I was buying in 2018 and lived adjacent to St Margaret’s. Land around St Margaret’s was dirt cheap at the time and everyone knew why. Even then it was being theorised that the village would be ‘uninhabitable’ when the new runway opened.
In fairness to all the other outlying towns that are being affected, there is a genuine issue. There was a plan that was released, and houses and estates were planned/upgraded in accordance with this.
Unfortunately, for St Margaret’s, it is right there beside the airport. No amount of changing flight plans will make any difference to the sound level there

Seriously, what do you expect living right there?
