The proposal for Gatwick Airport to move to a duel runway operation will have a negative impact on the local area, and contradicts the governments aim to reduse the UK's carbon footprint. Duel runway operations will mean: More flights. Increase in air pollution Increased noise pollution. More visitors by car. Increased road congestion. Increased parking facilities. Increased hotel and office capacity. Increased local development. All of the above will have a negative impact on the local area and those who live here. In my opinion, this development should not be permitted to go ahead. Development of land rural land.
