Introduce mandatory noise complaint waiver for anyone who buys or rents a property close to motorsport venue

Responsible department: Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs

There are innumerate cases of people knowingly moving within close proximity of motorsport venues, only to try to have their planning permission revoked or have them closed completely when they take exception to the noise.

It is extremely detrimental to the UK's motorsport heritage, when all the motorsport venues start disappearing. Motorsport and the associated mechanical/engineering business is a key British export and second to none in the world of motorsports.

As such, anyone who wishes to buy or rent a property within a determined distance of a motorsport venue should have to read and sign legislature that waives their right to complain about the noise from the nearby venue. If they do not wish to be bothered by something that was a fixture of the community long before they arrived, they should not move there in the first place.

I was just going to read some threads for a bit and not log in. But I logged in to "like" that.

I wish I lived in the UK so I could sign it. The only thing dumber than someone who moves near a race track and then whines about the noise of the cars, is the genius who moves near an airport and then complains about the noise of the jets (and yes, that happens too).

I just got an e-mail from Her Majesty's Government about this petition explaining that they have no plans to change the law. :/
