Gatwick is very close to an area of outstanding beauty, the North Downs, Box Hill, Leith hill etc, and a number of villages. Increased plane traffic will not only create significant noise pollution, but also air pollution. Although new jobs would be created, I have not seen details of any investment in the surrounding infrastructure, roads, schools etc to support this growth. Again any growth will impact the environment. Lastly with the expansion of Heathrow airport which is very close to Gatwick, then I don’t see the need for this additional expansion.
