This is a project to install a Second Runway at Gatwick, not just expand the use of an existing maintenance runway. It completely flies in the face of common sense with regard to Climate Change. Living on the south side of Tunbridge Wells we are plagued on most early mornings with groups of aircraft landing at Gatwick keeping us awake (NB despite the Arrival Review of several years ago recommending that aircraft begin their final approach well to the east of Tunbridge Wells, they have never done so), and a Second runway will only make our lives - and that of tens of thousands of people on the ground per flight - worse.
