I have serious concerns about the increased number of flights going over East Grinstead and the subsequent increased noise disturbance. Increased background noise like this has been shown to have deliterious effects on our minds and bodies. The wellbeing of the hundreds of thousands of people living locally should not be disregarded. I also have concerns about the increased carbon pollution. Every decision we make must have future generations in mind. We cannot continue to steal from their future. Thirdly our legal requirements for net zero by 2050 mean that it is extremely likely that flights will have to be reduced and this very expensive expansion will quickly become obsolete.
