I am registering my objection to the proposed second runway at Gatwick Airport. I believe the proposed additional flights would inevitably lead to an unacceptable increase in pollution and noise levels in Horsham and surrounding areas. The housing and infrastructure needed to support the proposed expansion would result in unacceptable pressure on local roads, public services and amenities that are already stretched by current developments. Finally, at a time when the Government is saying that it wishes to reduce carbon emissions because of the climate crisis, an increase in existing flights will completely contradict this.
