Campaigners are raising concerns that the expansion of Heathrow Airport could jeopardize the New Barn in Harmondsworth, a 600-year-old medieval structure. The vibrations from aircraft operations may damage this significant architectural heritage site, prompting public objections ahead of a September deadline.
The barn, acquired by English Heritage in 2011, is notable for its well-preserved timber frame and historical importance. As the government reviews the expansion plans, the potential impact on nearby communities and heritage sites is under scrutiny, with consultations ongoing regarding environmental and structural assessments.
