I would like to register objections. 1) the noise & disturbance from Gatwick now is unbearable, seems to be worse now, than before Covid. Unable to have a conversation outside or open windows. With an additional runway, will only be much worse. Aircraft are currently going around 2 mins apart, this will only be much worse with an additional runway. Its difficult to sleep now, especially in summer months, an additional runway will cause more sleep deprivation & affect the quality of life to those who live under the flight paths 2) Pollution, the air quality is bad at times & smell of aviation fuel as its dumped over head is disgusting. The whole idea of using an emergency runway as a second runway is ridiculous, have you leant nothing from so called "smart motorways"
