We really don't want the runway to be developed, because the flight path will then be directly over our house, at a very low altitude, creating health issues caused by noise and fuel polution. There have been instances in the past, where the take off and landing conditions have caused planes to dump fuel in line with our property and aircraft have caused damage to trees in the field suggesting an extremely low altitude, which we had to notify the airport of. It will also greatly affect the value of our property, as planes overhead are usually coming in at intervals of 30 seconds at peak times meaning that the noise pollution will be intolerable. The biggest issue for us as a family will be the fact that the flight path will be directly over the house , coupled with the increased frequency of flights , the noise level both outside and inside will become intolerable, affecting our mental health. This is not fear of what we think will happen. We know this will happen as over the past 43 years of living here we notice the difference when the north runway is used and we already have to pause conversations even under current circumstances
