I live under the current flight path utilised by aeroplanes that use Gatwicks' current runway. I chose to live here five years ago so I accept that I have to put up with being woken up at 6am most days. My issue is that an additional runway and the consequences of an increase in flights (which I didn't choose to live with) will have an effect on my health, both mental and physical. And, on a wider note, more aeroplanes is more air and noise pollution, to the wider area. Climate change is an immediate danger, and allowing a new runway belies the idea of a carbon neutral future.
