Before any extension takes place, Gatwick Airport authorities, along with local councils (Borough or County level) should make an effort to improve the existing airport and surrounding environs. The whole area is a shambles, and an embarrassment to the country. Unkempt verges, fencing and buildings need vast improvements. But the most pressing work required is massive road improvements, to fix the potholes, verges etc. If I was an international visitor I would be horrified. This work needs doing NOW, irrespective of wether planning permission is given. If left until 2025 and beyond the infrastructure will fall apart and be impassable.
