-Extreme obtrusive light pollution onto village, not currently mitigated gone under deaf ears, impacts on sleep, mental health and animal habitat destruction -Noise contours should include total village as compensation as minimum, noise experienced in all areas of village in proximity to runway. Unfair distribution. -Surface access issues: lorries, cars, vans, already overwhelming rural lanes, impacting safety of residents, elderly and young children and animals. -Road network from Eaton Green road to Darley Rd not considered in its entirety, consultants do not live in area, airport should consider "no through traffic" to abate volumes of "rat-running" and access traffic -Fumes from aircraft carries over village,no consideration of health implications -Airport must involve community in their designs, i.e.: more trees, natural screening, doing more "good stuff" now not later. Not enough engagement leads to resentment -Aircraft not mandated to use quieter engines, again this should be mandated, still too many older generation cargo planes vibrating the village on landing and take-off -Current structures of extended carparks allowed to be built without any consideration about noise and light pollution. Not good enough to say you will consider these in DCO, what have you done to mitigate these issues now? -Why need additional carparks when people should be leaving cars at home and using public transport -Consider energy and climate emergency in UK by installing solar panels on terminal roof instead of wanting to build on green belt virgin land ie: Wandon End. How green are these credentials? Hypocritical!
