We are in a climate emergency and should be decreasing carbon outputs not increasing it. There will be a significant increase in air pollution which is already affecting people with respiratory issues. There would be an increase in noise. I already get disturbed by night flights and this would get worse. A lack of sleep effects people’s mental health. There would be too much strain on an already congested transport system. Both roads and trains. There is a lack of houses and amities for the workers that would be needed. The proposed new development is a new runway and not development of the existing runway.
