Increasing the capacity of the airport in a time of concerns over the environmental impact of air travel generally should be an ongoing concern for all of us at this time. I also have concerns about the impact of this proposal on the amount of air traffic over our area. There has been a noticeable increase in air traffic, including more lower flying planes, in the last few years. This is from both larger traffic from Gatwick and smaller aircraft including helicopters to and from London Biggin Hill. This is having a detrimental impact in terms of noise pollution. As such, I do not support bringing the existing Northern Runway into routine use for take offs.
