Expansion of Gatwick would significantly increase C02 emissions, to the point that the UK government would be unable to meet its carbon reduction goals. As well as increased emissions from flights, the construction and increased traffic would cause further impact and air pollution. Extra traffic would also cause problems for residents, as well as the increase in noise and disturbance. This is not the sort of project that should be going ahead when we are facing a climate crisis and looking for ways to mitigate this.
