· Policy has been misinterpreted by the applicant as this is an applicant for a new runway which does not comply with policy, Government’s Aviation Strategy. Gatwick does not have 2 runways that it can operate concurrently today as such it is a new runway being constructed. · Increase in aircraft noise – evidence an additional 101,000 flights a year to a cap of 386,000. We are already disturbed throughout the night with low flying aircraft noise. The significant increase would have a detrimental affect on physical and mental health and wellbeing. · Gatwick sits on a single main road, the M23 which is deemed an unsafe smart road. To add to the huge increase in freight, passengers and workers will cause a significant increase in congestion on residential roads and an inevitable decline in air quality.
