The noise and pollution impacts are my two main concerns. There have been flight path changes in recent years which means we are already impacted late at night and early in the morning with flight noise that wakes us up and disturbs our quality of sleep - and therefore our health and wellbeing. This did not exist when we moved here in 2019 and was one of the reasons we chose to live here. The pollution is less obvious and quite insidious but there was a sharp contrast during the pandemic when we suddenly felt better and could not smell kerosene, and the water in buckets outside no longer turned pink. Since the flights have started again all of these impacts of pollution have returned and are not only impacting us but our animals and wildlife. Please consider these impacts in any future plans.
