Increased traffic and road traffic noise. Charlwood village is already busy and is used as a cut through to horley and Crawley. Increased aircraft noise, planes flying closer to/over my property. The noise is already loud enough. I have poor sleep and I get woken up by both traffic and aircraft noise in the early hours of the morning. I have to shut windows in my home, particularly in summer to hear the TV, to work effectively and have conversations with people. The second runway will negatively affect the value of my home and may reduce my option to sell and move away if these plans go ahead. I have [REDACTED] and the fumes affect my breathing, this will only worsen and I feel I would have no option but to move away to somewhere less polluted, laving my friends a family. I have lived in charlwood for 55 years.
