My concern is about the effects of allowing the routine use of a second runway at Gatwick airport. I am concerned that the entirely commercial motivation to increase flight numbers will further blight the lives of us living under the approach and departure routes. We already experience high noise levels and at peak times hardly any respite or break between planes coming over for much of the day and into the night. I am worried about the noise levels and duration of noise. I am also extremely concerned about the increased pollution caused by the increased number of flights. I think there should be more consultation and consideration of the large number of people whose lives will be permanently affected by this proposal.
