I live in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty that suffers from flights that already fly over the area both inbound to and outbound from Gatwick Airport. Any increase in the number of flights resulting from an expansion is incompatible with the legislation and restrictions on the ground that serve to preserve this unique area of the UK. Why should this be permissible in the air above? In addition I would urge the Planning Inspectorate to refuse such an extension of Gatwick Airport on the grounds that it is contrary to the Government's net zero target for carbon emissions both on the ground and in the air with and associated increase in noise and air pollution.
