The additional runway proposed at Gatwick will substantially increase air traffic flying directly over our home causing increased noise and disruption and seriously impacting the quality of our daily lives. Currently planes can fly over at 3 minute intervals barely leaving a gap between one flight and the next. We cannot leave windows open owing to the noise, sleep is disturbed, and time outside, whether in the garden or walking locally is disrupted by the continuous aircraft noise. The huge uplift in additional flights resulting from a second runway would totally destroy the enjoyment of living in this area.
