I already am woken constantly by planes, often traveling at under 5000ft in the early hours, night flying. Complaints to Gatwick make no difference, the response you get is a standard letter which says they can fly certain numbers and may fly low at night in certain circumstances. They don't care one iota for peoples health and wellbeing. It has affected my health. I don't understand why they all have to come over the same corridor over Langton and Rusthall and never over east grinstead and forest row, they seem take a detour and beeline for us. If we have any increase in planes it will most certainly affect my health further. Sleep and noise pollution are very serious issues but don't seem to be taken as such by the airports.
