I object to this proposal on the basis of: climate change, air pollution and harm to health, increase risk of flooding, noise pollution from increased air traffic, severe objection to increased night flights, traffic and transport disruption. And moreover Gatwick’s overall case for expansion does not comply with the Airports National Policy Statement which requires airports (other than Heathrow) to demonstrate sufficient need to justify their expansion proposals, additional to (or different from) the need which would be met by the provision of a Northwest Runway at Heathrow. This growth at Gatwick will have a huge adverse environmental effect on our communities and countryside. The only people to benefit will be Gatwick's shareholders. I strongly object for our local communities and for the sake of future generations.
