A few degrees difference can mean the difference of maybe up to a mile or more, left or right, during an approach or takeoff flight paths. These structures, new housing or businesses, if built in close to the flight path can have an effect on the area winds, by changing their direction, increasing wind velocity possibly causing an up draft or windshear, especially if they decide to build a new runway and its pointed a few degrees off from the old one.
