My main concerns are aircraft noise and pollution as well as the potential increase in road traffic on the M25 , M23 and around Gatwick. I am also concerned as a user of Gatwick airport about whether safety is being compromised by increasing the use of the second (emergency runway). It reminds me of what has happen ended with the conversion of the motorway hard shoulders to normal lanes for traffic. Yes it was a cheap option to cater for increased traffic, but at the cost of safety that has led to lives being lost.
