The use of an emergency runway as a second runway flies in the face of government objectives of zero carbon emissions. The use of a second runway will result in a large increase of traffic in the surrounding areas, more construction in an area of outstanding natural beauty and create a huge increase in aircraft noise and pollution for the surrounding communities. As Heathrow is due to build a third runway there is no need for a second runway in the south east .
