Environmental Impact: With no clear realistic path for a more sustainable aviation fuel knowingly adding tonnes more CO2 from 100,000 more flights a year seems crazy. Noise Impact: In Leigh, Surrey we are under two flight paths, having had Path 4 move recently. Having 100,000 more flights a year will bring excessive disturbance considering there plans to be no change of flight paths. I understand Gatwick have stated legally binding rules that noise in 9 years will not exceed 2019 levels but unless this is via dubious methodologies i do not see how this would be possible with a 35% increase in flight count. No planes are due on the market in the next 9 years with a 35% reduction in noise.
