I am concerned about the proposed use of the northern runway at Gatwick because of the impact it will have on my local community in terms of aircraft noise. Not only will there be a very large increase in the number of flights, but the concentration of the flight paths into a narrower band leads to an even more disproportionate increase in noise, disturbance, and stress. Until new aircraft with significantly lower noise levels, and tighter restrictions on night flights, and landing charges which relate to aircraft noise ratings, are introduced then the second runway should not be considered for regular use.
