The addition of another runway to Gatwick will adversely impact air quality with the health implications that brings. Noise pollution will increase and will be negative for residents in the area, affecting their sleep quality. As it is, I am often woken by the noise of aircraft with the current noise levels from aircraft. The roads to and from the airport are already heavily used, and the increase in the number of passengers accessing the airport by road will only impact negatively. Housing demands and developments arising from those demands, will strain local services in many areas that are already unable to cope with current demands. Things like health services across the board, along with local government services.
