I strongly object to this application. Despite many years' of local community protestations about the constant overhead noise pollution, Gatwick Airport has done nothing to mitigate this and continues to allow aircraft to follow narrow approach paths into the airport and at altitudes well below the prescribed heights. The airport has completely failed to demonstrate any willingness to listen to local blighted communities. This planned expansion will therefore only serve to render our Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty completely uninhabitable. Moreover, it is completely at odds with the Nation's targeted reduction in emissions, given it is estimated that it will add some 1.5 million tonnes of CO2 per annum.
