I am concerned over the additional noise pollution from planes. We already have planes not following the correct flight paths and flying at low levels over our house. This runway and additional capacity will simply increase the amount of planes that could also ignore flight paths and add to noise pollution over our house and neighbourhood. Unless and until Gatwick can manage this better and ensure that not only do airlines conform to approved flight paths and but also that no additional flight paths are added then we can't accept another runway. In addition, with the race to net zero, I fail to see how adding capacity moves us in the right direction so unless Gatwick are planning a huge amount of other initiatives to not only make existing runways and any additional runway net zero we can't approve this initiative.
