Hi, This new runway will have a significant negative impact on the environment primarily due to increased carbon emissions and increased noise with far less respite for the residents under or close to the flight path. Gatwick seem to be constantly championing their net zero credentials (obviously for the running of the airport site itself and not for the increased emissions caused by the aircraft that they wouldn't exist without!) and the government talks about 'Jet Zero'. My suggestion would be that any new runway should be contingent on only zero emission flights running from it? Thanks Mr G R Ambler
