Having lived here for over 40 years and 20 years previously in the neighbouring village I have seen the airport grow over the past 60 years. If the airport is to grow further then I strongly urge you to implement a night-time ban on all flights in and out of Luton between the hours of 22.00 and 06.00. At present we are lucky if we get 3hrs uninterrupted sleep. The government's aviation policy recognises that the cost on local communities are higher from aircraft noise at night, particularly the health costs associated with sleep disturbance. Night time flights have doubled in 5 years, night noise contour planning conditions have been breached since 2017.
