George’s Point of View

If this were in the U.S., the airport would do its best to (as quietly as possible) purchase the house. I’m assuming this is one of those properties in the immediate neighborhood of the “offending” airport. So much of what happens depends on whether or not the homeowner wants to move, if the property predates the airport, local laws and agreements already in place. Will there be a lawsuit, or an amicable meeting over a common negotiating table? Depends on the lawyer. Who knows? It may be the airport who sits across the table from the homeowner—or it may be a local contractor whose work is less than stellar.
