I believe this proposed Northern Runway application at Gatwick should be totally disregarded. , such is its potential to significantly damage the world's future, through the likely increase in greenhouse emissions. I believe Gatwick is an unsuitable location for a second runway, and unsuitable for further expansion within the Gatwick site:- below are some obvious reasons, I understand Gatwick will not address any of these:- There is one railway line, There is one major arterial road, There is total lack of suitable road infrastructure, The surrounding regions already have low unemployment, There is already a significant housing shortage in the counties around Gatwick, The M23 motorway goes to Gatwick but only goes one junction beyond Gatwick, The M23 is already congested at peak times, and its 'smart' system has now been proven dubious and dangerous. Expansion at Gatwick should be quickly rejected, Gatwick is big enough.
