I'm concerned about the proposed expansion for a number of reasons: 1) increased noise. The noise pollution is already very intrusive, especially in the summer. Planes aren't supposed to fly at night, but they do and wake me up. It's often difficult to hold a conversation because of noise level. 2)Pollution: I'm concerned about the inevitable increase in air pollution, not only from aviation fuel but from the increase in road traffic. I'm also concerned about water run off and the pollution to our local water courses (which has happened before). 3)Environment & wildlife: I'm really concerned about the detrimental impact this would have on our local wildlife which is already under huge pressure.
