Representation Summary:

I object to the fact that there is no opportunity to opt for NO expansion of the airport
We are not obliged to cater for the predicted demand for air travel. The sector makes a disproportionate contribution to climate change and should be included in targets for cutting emissions There should not be an assumption that there is a requirement to develop the airport at all Options 1, 11 and 111 will undoubtedly act as drivers for increased CO2 emissions at a time when national, regional and local government should be acting to prevent damaging climate change.
