I have lived in and around lingfield for over 40 years and have had family members who have worked at the airport. However recently I have noticed the aircraft much more. There are more flights taking off over the village which rarely happened before they usually only landed. Doors and Windows have to be closed even in the heat to keep the noise out. In the garden you hear them which can be annoying, especially when at times they come so regularly. While some aircraft noise is expected due to living close to the airport I would dread to think what it will be like with another runway. Too much I think. I thought that Heathrow were granted another runway and Gatwick were refused. Why is this an issue again? In a time when we should be reducing air travel and pollution are we still ploughing ahead with unnecessary expansion.
