Churt lies under some of the Gatwick flight paths. In 2020 Churt Parish Council set out its aspirations for achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050 in the Churt Environmental Charter: Net Zero by 2050. Churt Parish Council believes that the emissions from the additional flights envisaged by Gatwick’s Northern runway expansion plans would cause significant harm to the residents and harm to the outstanding natural environment of the Surrey Hills AONB that surrounds Churt, would be a retrograde step in trying to achieve overall net-zero carbon emissions as well as being incompatible with the aspirations set out in Churt’s Environmental Charter: Net Zero by 2050.
