Please reduce /stop these flight paths across South Nutfield village which have been increasing and the noise is intolerable.

Terrible impact from a route we never suffered from before. We need a return to pre 2013 routing.

There has been a vast increase in traffic since this route was approved as flights to southern destinations such Spain are now departing by Route 3.

Route 3 is absolutely awful in South Nutfield , ruining the peace in our once tranquil village,home and garden. We are very sad to lose the birdsong and peace...

Route 3 is relentless, intense and planes are kept at LOW altitude - hence really noisy over Blackbrook and Holmwood. After pulling teeth with Gatwick PR ("nothing's changed") they finally admitted planes we kept low to "tuck under Heathrow flighpaths". It's now ruining a once peaceful area of outstanding natural beauty

Route 3 is absolutely awful in Brockham, ruining the peace in our once tranquil home and garden. Never disturbed by Gatwick aircraft on ANY route before 2012. We are so sad to lose the birdsong and peace.

Not against the noise most of time but those planes who have low level projectory do disturb, especially the huge long haul aircraft.

Too much noise over south Redhill/Reigate and Earlswood from Route 3 Gatwick aircraft. Also being directly under flight paths from low flying Heathrow aircraft means during the summer months we are woken very early even with the windows closed and not finding any pleasure in sitting in our garden.

It would be good if this was achieved before the summer!

The noise from aircraft using Route 3 has become unbearable since the Route changes were made. The old system was far better. This is not an improvement by any means.

Since Route 3 has changed from disbursement to a more concentrated route path, the aircraft noise over South Nutfield has become unbearable. It appears that the centre line of the swathe is not being followed as per CAA requirements but the path is further North thus passing over communities rather than open fields. It also does not help that these planes are at 2500 to 4000 feet. Surely something can be done to correct this mistake.

The recent introduction of 400m tipper lorry runs through Nutfield has brought an unbearable level of filth and noise to the community and several people are now trying to sell their properties to move but house prices have been effected by this. Aeroplane noise will blight the quality of life of locals even further.

The flight path used to be circa half a mile further south within the NPR. It should be re-routed back to that position

Something also needs to be done about the helicopters which are the noisiest aircraft affecting the residence of South Nutfield. Why do they have to be stationed at the village end of the airfield.

Low level flying is far to noisy in my area

I would like to complain most strongly about the aircraft noise. Like many others I find that the planes are too low and would ask that something is done about the flight path and that residents in the area are listened to.

I have lived in South Nutfield village for over 30 years and the aircraft noise has never been so loud as it is now. It seems the airlines flagrantly fly outside of the flight lanes. As an ex-BA person I do have some insight into what's OK not OK - and this is NOT OK!
