- Firstly, the plans would effectively give Gatwick a new second runway, but Government policy is that any new runway in the South East should be at Heathrow. (Though I don’t believe there should be any new runways at all!) - The resulting expansion of flights would be a significant contributor to climate breakdown. (The Government's own climate advisors, the Committee on Climate Change, say there should be no airport expansion.) - The plans will worsen air quality, and increase noise and disturbance for local residents. - The plans mean new road building - and more pressure for housing in the region
