Any expansion of capacity at Gatwick should be subject to a ban on all arrivals (except if the result of delays) and take offs between 23.00 and 06.00 (similar to the quiet periods that apply at Heathrow and London City). This should apply to all types of aircraft. Currently at busy periods of the year there are landings almost every hour of the night and this is especially noticeable when everything else is quiet. Generally greater planning and regulation (and enforcement) is needed for noise attenuation e.g. as to the height at which an approach must be made.
