My primary objection to the proposed northern runway is increased noise and air pollution. The plans will bring the flight path directly over our house, at a very low altitude. This has caused problems even on the current flight path, including fuel dumps, and tree damage. The noise levels already cause us various issues, affecting our mental health and sleep quality. The noise level is currently such that conversations can not continue whilst a plane is going overhead, certainly not when we are outside. These will become far worse under the new proposals, at a increased frequency. The noise and air pollution and frequency of events will greatly affect the value of our property.
