  1. Noise levels have already increased significantly over the past 6 years I have lived at this address. They will increase even further if the expansion goes ahead. 2. Flight paths are being eroded with pilots appearing to "cut corners" and exacerbating noise and visual pollution in both rural and urban areas 3. Expansion will put more pressure on local infrastructure, which is already pressurised and much of which is not actually in Bedfordshire. When an incident occurs on the M1 or A1, there is often total gridlock on the surrounding A roads affecting local residents. increase the number of visitors to the airport and this adds to the pressure. 4. Flight time regulations seem to be out of the window, with more and more early flights at 6-7.30 am and more flights coming in between 1am and 6am. I appreciate flights might be delayed, but the roar of engines landing and taking off needs to be kept to a minimum during these times. 5. Air pollution will increase dramatically along with the increased number of flights proposed and will affect a larger percentage of the population.
