I am concerned that this proposal will require a blanket block out to the already highly restricted GA air movements in the South from east to west. We have already experienced such a phenomenon with South End requirements. Please ensure there is a joined up approach with the planned expansion of Heathrow and Gatwick and consider the impact if any should Manston re open and also the reduction in demand for travel in general. Of course government reasoning for rail travel and the cancellation of part of HS2 must also play a part. If more European travel was done by rail would such an expansion be justified. I realise this is a much bigger issue than just one airport but please consider all users of the airspace and the impact on the environment in particular
