I live directly under the flight path. The majority of aircraft fly over my building. Objections: 1) Noise 2) Pollution. Increasing the amount of flights is obviously contrary to all the science on global warming. I would even go so far as to say it's crazy. Also aviation fuel exhaust, especially as planes are taking off is polluting the atmosphere more severely under the flight path in this part of Surrey. 3) Increase in traffic towards the airport. 4) More jobs are not needed around here. In fact there is a shortage of labour. Many many other people have gone into much more detail than I so I will spare you having to trawl through more information which you already have. Please do not let the Gatwick airport authority get away with ever more development. The chances of limiting the world average temperature is already a lost cause. This is just adding to the problem. Electrically powered airplanes are not with us yet, or hydrogen fuel cell planes... seriously.
