I wish to object in the strongest possible terms to plans for Gatwick’s northern runway. In Fordcombe we already suffer repeated disruption to the quiet enjoyment of our house and garden, and any increase in the volume of flights over this area would be intolerable. Health and mental well-being would be compromised. Expansion would further damage the environment in this AONB, with roads congested and added air pollution. This area is unlikely to see a great deal of economic benefit from expansion, and indeed house prices would be likely to fall.
