(Redacted), is a listed building and is below the present flightpath to and from Gatwick Airport. Over the last ten years the noise and vibrations from aircraft has increased tremendously mainly due to the fact that on take off the pilots do not stick to the take off route that they are supposed to. Instead of turning a couple of miles before my house they have gradually flown closer and closer until they are actually turning across the top of my house. Being a listed building, it goes back to the 1400's, it actually shakes when a plane goes across it as they are still quite low. I have complained many times about this to no avail! If a new runway is approved I can only imagine what the disturbance and the damage caused will be like! Even if the new runway were to go the opposite way, away from the house, it would still mean that with the increase in passengers overall would mean more frequent flights on the runway going over my property. The inspectorate are quite welcome to visit my property to see and feel the problem that already exists.I hope that properties like mine , of which there are many in the area, are taken into account.
