I would like to object for the following reasons: - Climate emergency and air quality around Gatwick - Noise. From all of the documentation produced by Gatwick it is still completely unclear what the noise impact will be. When combined with FASI it is imposible, at the moment, to make an informed decision. The threat of new overflight has not been addressed. - Aircraft bunching. Gatwick/NATS continue to route aircraft in bunches causing unnecessary noise nuisance. This will only get worse as capacity increases - Capacity. The NaTMAG minutes clearly detail the capacity issues with the current runway. Adding more load to that will push operations into the night period which is just not acceptable - Infrastructure. This is struggling at the moment so adding to this will only exacerbate the situation.
