UK: Helipad OK for sumo-wrestling, but not helicopters

UK: Helipad OK for sumo-wrestling, but not helicopters

MD500E owner Jeremy Paxton can use his revolving helicopter pad for ‘recreational sumo wrestling’ but not landing his helicopter, say council planners.  Mr Paxton built the revolving pad in his garden so he could rotate his helicopter and take off into the wind, but did so without planning permission and had to apply to the council retrospectively.  (see full story).  Mr Paxton also has his own website at http://www.jeremypaxton.co.uk/
