Maps have revealed the entire borough could be subjected to aircraft noise if Heathrow develops a four runway hub.

Wandsworth Council and campaign group 2M have created noise contour maps, highlighting areas in London which could overflow by planes using the proposed third and fourth runways.

Almost every ward in the borough could be disrupted by aircraft coming into land on a new runway to the south of existing strips.

The west of the borough would be the most affected, with planes getting closer to homes and gardens as they approach the airport.

People living under the existing flightpaths in Putney and Battersea have reported they have been awake from 4.30am as first arrivals reach Heathrow.

Councillor Ravi Govindia, leader of Wandsworth Council and spokesman for 2M, said: "Almost every part of Wandsworth would be affected by aircraft noise if Heathrow expands to a four runway hub.

"Across London and the Home Counties a total of three million people would be living under its flightpaths. The price is far too high.

"Heathrow is in the worst position in the country for a major airport and the Government should focus the search for new runway sites on viable settings where the impacts are less severe."
