I strongly object to the expansion of Gatwick Airport by the creation of a new runway for the following reasons: I am already kept awake and at times also woken up by the planes flying to and from Gatwick. An increase in flight numbers would make this intolerable, damaging my sleep and my physical and mental health still further. The extra pollution incurred by more flights with an additional runway would further damage my health, that of other people in the area, and the environment. The additional building of a runway and extra infrastructure would damage the local environment. Extra road traffic would add to air pollution in the area.
