GATWICK EXPANSION – A REAL THREAT. PLEASE ACT NOW
You need to register with the Planning Inspectorate before 23:59 on 29th October 2023 to have your say before - or, crucially after that date.
To get the full picture please do read the reports from GACC and Airport Watch - both immensely respected organisations:
https://www.gacc.org.uk/gacc-responses-and-briefings.php
Over 1,200 Air Traffic Movements (aka flights) at peak, per day. An aircraft over us less than every two minutes – coming your way unless we act now.

It is essential you copy in your MP as they can use it as powerful evidence of their Constituents’ views when debating with government Ministers.

Expansion will mean:
- 35% more flights than 2019
- 48% more emissions than 2019
- 5.5% of all UK emissions will come from Gatwick in 2038
- Being the size of Heathrow (where are they going to put 80m people?)
