Reigate MP Opposes Hard Runway at Redhill Aerodrome

Reigate MP, Crispin Blunt, has lodged his formal opposition to the planning application for a hard runway at Redhill Aerodrome.

In a joint letter with fellow East Surrey MP, Sam Gyimah, Mr  Blunt says that he feels there are no special circumstances to justify the development of the green belt in this area.

Urging the rejection of the hard-surface runway, the letter also states that such a plan would have a detrimental effect on the landscape and would increase noise and light pollution in the area.

The planning appeal will be heard in January 2014
