Living in the vicinity of Gatwick Airport is already challenging enough at most times, without these extra works. The plane noise can be unbearable at times, and doubling that would honestly, without trying to exaggerate, ruin my life. I work from home and every single plane taking off is heard and felt through our property. If the plane is low enough or big enough, it almost deafens a phone call. The roads and trains are also busy enough in the local vicinity, let alone adding MORE passengers onto the M23, Balcombe Road or Horley - Victoria train line. Speak to ANYONE within a 5 mile radius of this project and they will object. Being woken up or kept awake due to plane noise, not being able to have anyone round to visit in the garden because you can't hear each other speak. If I could afford to move away I would, but I can't, so I beg you to not to go through with this project that will make my day-to-day life a complete misery.
