This new runway will destroy so many fine buildings and a historic village, then there is the increase in pollution, why is this application being considered when as a Country we are looking for Zero Emissions and this new runway will double airport emissions which are already way above EU recommendations. Currently many flights are cancelled on a daily basis due to staff shortages, so in a nutshell there are not enough people living in a commutable distance to run the airport with one runway let alone two runways. So in theory additional staff could be found but that would mean could longer distances to commute thus adding a much bigger carbon footprint. This application must be refused on so many fronts.
