Comment:

I do not support the application to expand BIA.  Living under the flat path, noise will be increased both during the day and at night.  this has steadily increased in recent years.  

The location of the airport for such an expansion is completely inappropriate without destroying further green belt land in order to improve the road and rail network.

Both Cardiff (a major capital city airport) and Filton are already close to both road and rail networks.  Why not look to expand these airports?  Is there any reaon why Bristol cannot have 2 sirports as in other major cities across the world?

In addition, increasing Cardiff International Airport would reduce the road usage and subsequent increased pollution which currently exists with so many welsh users travelling to Bristol to use the service.
