The main issue is that this proposed expansion of operation inherent with a second runway flies in the face of the recommendations in the Climate Change Committee's 6th carbon budget that 'there should be no net expansion of UK airport capacity unless the sector is on track to sufficiently outperform its net emissions trajectory and can accommodate additional demand'. In addition, the proposed increase in passenger volume will place excessive strain on already stretched infrastructure in the Crawley area and beyond.
