Furious residents have slammed a renewed bid for unrestricted helicopter landings in the garden of a 1.3m Hampshire mansion.

Those living near the property on Stapleford Lane in Durley stand in opposition to plans which would allow lawyer Mayus Karia to fly clients to his mansion.

Mr Karia originally applied for permission for no more than two round trips per month between 8am and 6pm. This was approved by the city council in March last year for the site in Stapleford Lane.

However, the lawyer revised them, requesting unrestricted flights in a new application submitted in June.

Resident Jane Woodhouse opposed the ‘unacceptable’ proposals as residents ‘deserve to sit in our gardens and enjoy the view and quietness’.

The plans were thrown out by Winchester City Council as it rule this would result in ‘unacceptable additional noise and disturbance’ on neighbouring residents.

However, in a last attempt to get the plans through, an appeal has been lodged with the Planning Inspectorate.

Residents are furious and urging for the proposals to be rejected once again.

Pensioner Geoffrey Travis, 79 and his wife Shirley, 77, have lived on Stapleford Lane for 30 years.

They say their quiet retirement is at risk with these plans.

Shirley told the Echo: “We moved from West End because we wanted the peace and tranquillity and no noise coming from the road outside.

“I would hate to think there would be a helicopter coming in and out flying over our heads. It would be detrimental.

“I don’t want to sit in my garden while a helicopter flies over our heads. I don’t even know what it would do to our roof tiles.”

Geoffrey, who used to own a family-run car dismantler company said: “I spent my career in a noisy environment and when we moved we built this property to have a quiet life, not for a helicopter to be flying in and out.”

A decision is now awaited.
