launched a legal challenge<\/a> against the proposal to bring a second runway into consistent use.<\/p>\n\u201cI don\u2019t think Gatwick really realises the impact it has,\u201d says Sally Pavey, who chairs the Communities Against Gatwick Noise Emissions group.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not just the aircraft noise, it\u2019s the impact of all
\nthese people going to the airport to fly out of the UK to spend money overseas.\u201d<\/p>\n
Peter Barclay of the Gatwick Area Conservation Campaign is part of the legal challenge.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe amount of pollution being produced is very concerning,” he said. \u201cAnd there is of course a worldwide problem of the impact of
\nclimate change, and that is significant.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Department for Transport and the airport’s owner are defending the legal challenge.<\/p>\n
