I dread to think how noisy my neighbourhood will become if Gatwick expands its capacity. My property is not even considered to be on the final approach and yet it is currently directly overflown at about 3,500 feet by the majority of aircrafts landing at Gatwick and sometimes even take-offs simultaneously. To think this noise could become even more frequent with little to no respite is extremely depressing. We already feel that we are unable to enjoy our outdoor space due to the noise pollution created by Gatwick air traffic (due to the unfortunate circumstance of being situated directly under the flight path), this will only compound on the issue. I also don’t see how encouraging more air travel is helping to solve the climate crisis.
