There's no reason to suppose that flightpaths from an estuary airport
would be routed over central London at all.

There's also no reason to suppose they won't be.

To reduce the noise.

Which is why, currently there is a curfew at LHR.

That'll be for people living really close.

The claim for Borisport is that it will operate 24/7.

With no-one living really close, and the flight paths not crossing
London either. Simples.

You are the one that is simple. There are quite a few built up areas in
the South East even if you want to ignore London. Then there is the
question of what happens when the winds are easterly.

Increased wind strength also seems to have a distinct effect WRT to
flattening and straightening out the incoming flight path and thus
shaking a few more roofs.
