Sense at last...
Apologies if it's a re-post.
Spotted on another forum:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-suffolk-17182211
Finally, some common sense on the matter prevails!

At last, and hopefully it will stop other idiots that buy property near to race circuits from complaining about the noise

About time - how can you not notice a stadium big enough for a speedway and greyhound track in the middle? Noise is what closed Exeter speedway down -
unfortunately the rugby club who own the ground didn't renew their permission when the lease ran out... after nearly 80 years!
And Donington - at a drivers briefing there one day, the guy was talking about the noise limits as a FedEx 747 was taking off from East Midlands,
coming right over the circuit...

Now the other track owners can appeal! Whizzo!
Anyone who spends the kind of money needed to buy a house, without doing some basic research into the locality etc, gets all they deserve. IMHO of
course.
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!

As someone who hates noisy neighbours (At unreasonable times) I can see how it might be REALLY irritating. But that's why I bought a
semi-detached house away from a football ground and drinks bottling plant instead of the lovely newbuild detached right next to them.
Glad common sense prevails.

The track is a couple of miles from my house. Someone bought a house in the country next to a speedway track,then complained about the noise !!!
I can remember something about a digger driving through the house. then it caught fire later on. did i mention its also a banger racing track.
Strange how things happen when you annoy the wrong people

It's a great result. People seem to do this all the time, move somewhere then complain about somthing thats been happening since before they
were born. Near where my grandad lives someone moved in and made some sort of noise complaint that was investigated and turned out to be a wood pecker
and a few other wild birds.
These people all ways say the same things about not knowing at the time but if that really was the case, the people they should be sueing are the
estates agents and surveyors for not telling them it was there.

I'm sorry but WHAT?? It's buyer beware, not, estate agent tell you everything. Estate agents are (generally) unqualified sales people.
Surveyors also are only concerned with the house being fit for purpose and appropriately priced. If anyone is to blame it's the solicitor,
however the work the solicitor does would only highlight previous complaints. So really it's all down to the buyer being, IMO, a buy if a prat.

Every Friday evening is bell ringing practice. 6.30 till 9 ish,

I agree with you. I'm wasn't saying they should sue those people, only it would have made more sense to.

ive been to that track a few times for the banger racing, not the best of areas, near the airbase with EC135 (707's) & C17's taking
off all the time.
Not a quiet place but cheap.....
the circuit is not some thing they could of missed, so far play mr judge i think we should all think twice before we sue someone and maybe our
insurance would come down.

Result.
Winds me up. Here in Norf London we had the bloke that played Alf Garnett move into a big f off house near Kenwood (big park open to the public) and
then started complaining about the noise from the open air concerts with fireworks that had been happening there every summer since the 1950s. As a
result the council pulled the permission for a year.
The next year the council held their usual consultation on it and the company that did the concerts e-mailed all the people who had previously bought
a ticket and asked them to do the consultation in favour. Result= Camden council website crashed for three days!
the next year the whinging scroats tried putting in a complaint so that although there was permission to have the events there wasn't going to
be permission to put up the lighting rigs needed for the events to actually go ahead. By that time though I think the organisers had someone on the
inside because the planned planning hijack was found out and once again Camden's website crashed for a couple of days
Really winds me up.

I remember a news article about an old couple who complained to a school about there being excessive noise at playtimes and lunchtimes. If
you're going to live near a school, then chances are you will hear children playing!

We used to get told off at school for making too much noise near the fences because people were complaining. To be fair kids can be retarded at times
and scream for no reason just to make a noise, but in this case they'd just moved in and not anticipated the noise.

I wholely expected estate agents NOT to tell me about the problems and every house I visited I went round at different times of the day and checked
with all of the neighbours.
I still ended up with some people who seem to think 11pm-2am is a normal time to chase out cable routes in walls and spare no thought for their
neighbours when shutting all of their windows with the hardest slam possible.

This is an excellent result, thank god for common sense. NIMBY's that move close to a pre-existing source of noise and then complain need
filtering out of the gene pool.

There is nothing I find more annoying than church bells! Install some V8s in instead!
If anyone other than a church were making that kind of noise they'd get arrested, but I suppose it is like the article above, if it pisses you
off, don't move there! How long has Christianity been around? :p
