I do have concerns about the volume of air traffic overhead. At the moment, this is minimal and allows me and my family to enjoy our garden and many walks in the local area. On the occasion that planes go overhead, this is a little disruptive but not enough to impact our quality of life. My concern is that if this goes ahead the volume of air traffic over my home will be much greater, meaning that I won't be able to enjoy my outside space. I am also concerned that this will devalue my home, which was bought on the basis of the current volume of air traffic. I am also concerned that more flights will mean more traffic on the roads which are already quite busy especially during the summer months. In short, I do not support this application for both personal and community reasons.
