I object to this proposal. My objections include: 1) the applicant has misinterpret government policy - GAS. Gatwick currently does not have 2 runways that can operate concurrently 2) we are in a climate emergency - the world is burning and we all have a responsibility to not add significant amounts of carbon and greenhouse gas 3) the infrastructure around Gatwick would not support the significant increases in congestion and decline in air quality 4) An additional 101,000 flights a year will have an inevitable increase in aircraft noise over Godstone and the surrounding area 5) Gatwick currently has staff vacancies - they will not be able to recruit enough extra staff without giving better wages and providing better affordable housing.
