I live around 10 miles from Gatwick Airport, and already find the flights extremely disruptive, noisy and relentless with just a single runway in use. The noise is particularly noticeable in the early morning and late at night, causing a huge impact to sleep patterns If a second runway is approved, I cannot imagine how detrimental that will be not just to myself, but also to the many thousands of people who live nearby to the airport. There are many areas of AONB and countryside which will be blighted by so many extra flights. The infrastructure in this area is already struggling to cope, there is a lack of available housing and Gatwick already has recruitment issues. Therefore I am opposing the expansion.
