I am concerned regarding the environmental impact of increasing the size and volume of air traffic through Luton Airport. Not only is aviation so far behind the conversion to more sustainable transportation, the noise as well as the destruction of green space suggested to enable this increase is unacceptable, not only locally but nationally too. There is NO justifiable reason for this expansion. Since moving to the Letchworth area around 14 years ago the air traffic noise has increased exponentially at my home. Not just in the sky, but as the aircraft taxi on the ground and rev up to take off, the noise is very intrusive. Any further expansion of the airtraffic at Luton will no doubt increase this awful sound further. I wholeheartedly and completely object to the expansion.
