I have lived happily under the flight path in Hever for 32 years but a second runway will impact hugely on my quality of life by the increase in noise and pollution. It seems ludicrous that on the one hand we are trying to become carbon neutral yet on the other hand we are considering doubling the aircraft traffic at Gatwick. People are being encouraged not to fly so doubling the capacity at Gatwick makes no sense. Hever also has a wonderful castle where an open air theatre operates in the summer months. It is already impacted by aircraft noise and the new plans will surely ruin what is a delightful facility for our community and the wider community. I object VIGOROUSLY to the second runway.
