Should the runway go ahead, I understand there will be a 70% increase in passenger numbers and a 37% increase in aircraft movement, meaning more noise and visual pollution, together with CO2 emissions increasing considerably which seems out of line with the UK's CO2 reduction targets. I am also concerned that should the 2nd runway be approved, it may well cause a blight on sales of properties in these highly desirable rural areas (some being areas of outstanding natural beauty) leading to a potential devaluation of properties.
