My parents live about 50 metres from the sound barrier [REDACTED] and have done for decades. It is the house I grew up in. [REDACTED] and if the proposed application is approved their quality of life will be substantially reduced. The house, which was built pre-Gatwick, will be almost unliveable due to the volume of planes and proximity of the northern emergency runway. Note this was only ever used for emergencies in the past (hence the name) and not as a regular runway. Please consider this, make a few visits to their house and you will understand the problem. Please also contact me as I too can explain the issues they will face in great detail. Thanks
