I am against the further development of Luton airport due to noise pollution and air quality where we live. The only way it would be bearable is if the planes were cleaner and quieter and were flying at a higher altitude. We regularly have many planes flying over our house one after the other as late as 11.50pm and as early as 6am or before. Despite the routes shown on flightradar.com they are much nearer our house than it shows. It disturbs our sleep especially in the summer when we need the windows open and there are more planes flying in the summertime. I disagree with the set up of the local authority approving plans up to now when they are the owner of the airport. How can that be an objective decision? I disagree that the local economy needs another massive expansion for the airport. Please don't be focussed on more and more expansion and think of the whole community and our environment. We shouldn't be encouraging more flying at a time when the climate is in crisis.
