I strongly oppose this Gatwick Airport application for a northern runway because it is a new runway not a development of an existing runway. It will significantly increase airport noise, pollution and stretch local amenities even further. The infrastructure is not present for such an expansion and there is already a lack of housing to support airport workers and their families. The road systems around the airport are not capable of taking the extra transport and cars from passengers and freight. As well as the train links already appalling to and from the airport, it will only worsen with the extra people- expected to be around 32million.
