The proposed expansion will have a detrimental impact on the environment. Increase in air traffic will cause increase noise and air pollution, increased road traffic in the region, great nuisance from the increase in air traffic and further damage to the environmental character of the area - which is peaceful area of outstanding beauty. There is also significant concern over the increase in air traffic over the local Oxted, Hurst Green and surrounding areas. Airport expansion does not align with International and National policy to REDUCE carbon emissions and move to a net zero economy.
