This application will promote further expansion of a highly polluting mode of transport. In view of the governments 'Net Zero' targets and climate change, is it either advisable or acceptable?

I live almost directly under the flight path and planes pass over us at about 1 minute intervals about 75% of the time [when the wind blows from the west]. The amount of noise polution is already...

Providing new infrastructure to support the further expansion of flight-based travel and tourism seems to deny the existence of climate change, or at least ignore the reasons for it.
