    I thought the uk govt had committed to reduce carbon emissions? Expansion to Gatwick Will seriously reduce the chance of meeting these goals. It’s already pretty late to consider the environmental... Read more

    I've just bought my first house almost two years ago in Redhill, but by now the number of planes passing over has already increased. It's starting to be an annoyance and you're saying it's give her... Read more

  • Dace Ozols

    Presumably by having another runway more planes will be flying from Gatwick. This means that more people will be using the airport. The airport is already very congested. There are long queues for... Read more

  • Dan Wadey

    In using the reserve runway surely there will be increased traffic throughout the day. This will mean extra stress on both runways and the need for the creation of a 'new' emergency runway to side... Read more

  • Daniel Hellmuth

    As a local resident the noise from the current level of planes taking off from Gatwick already negatively impacts on our daily lives, a second runway will increase this significantly and potentially... Read more

  • Danielle Barr

    In support; however, rail and road infrastructure must improve - as well as the bus network. Buses every 20 mins a day are not good enough.

    The increased noise and pollution will be unacceptable. The infrastructure is not in place. It's all about greed and not peoples quality of life

    I object to this unnecessary and speculative proposed expansion of Gatwick airport. This ACE pledge statement of net zero by 2040 conflicts with this proposal; [REDACTED] The undesirable extra 100,000... Read more

    I live very close to the airport and have concerns how it will affect my life.

    I object to the expansion of Gatwick Airport on the grounds: - environmental - destruction of the atmosphere - cost - a waste of money when flying will soon be limited by environmental factors

  • David Ledesma

    I live on the take-off path for Gatwick Airport. The planes fly right over our house since the new takeoff lanes were introduced. Adding an an extra runway will inrease the traffic at the airport his... Read more

  • Denise Furlonger

    I object to Gatwick Airport's expansion plans. A 2nd runway is expected to add over 1 million tonnes of extra carbon into the air each year if allowed to go ahead. The planet is already suffering more... Read more

  • Devak Nayee

    Huge concerns on increased noise levels and pollution that still have not been appropriately addressed.

  • Dr Jean Collins

    How does this proposal impact carbon emissions? What are the positive and negative impacts on the future generations of local residents?

  • Elizabeth Townsend

    This appears to be an elegant solution to enable the south east to gain slot capacity, build the local economy and ensure London remains a connected part of the globe.

  • Ella Bailey

    The main issues are increased noise and environmental damage to local residents. A lack of demand in shoulder periods of the day means Gatwick is not full, they only want to be able to sell expensive... Read more

    Additional airport capacity would be incompatible with net zero targets and would help increase carbon dioxide emissions.

    If the airport is to grow. It needs to start using this existing second runway at the very least on a temporary basis to check out any safety implications.

  • Geoffrey West

    This is a brilliant idea to convert the northern runway, Gatwick Airport is the main say for a lot of the local residents and having this application submitted and approved will only help with more... Read more
