Planning permission will be granted so long as it's airport related! So they can do anything under this guise? Any increase of noise & pollution will have an adverse impact on the whole area & is totally unacceptable. What is 'baseline' anyway? Use again of a non-word and we have to take their word on this! Living under the flight path we are already affected by aircraft noise, it will become intolerable with flights every 15 minutes in daytime & unrestricted night flights. Light aircraft training flights drive us to distraction now as they noisily buzz directly overhead.

I fully support the development of Southend Airport. As an employee I can appreciate the amount of employment and regeneration these plans would create.

There is no mention of freight being moved by rail, why not, is this not something that should be explored for transportation efficiency and to reduce road traffic.

I object to the proposed development because the sustainable transport measures take no account of the A127 which is unable to cope with any more traffic, be it from passengers (a smaller percentage of which will use the railway) or the expected extra employees at the new industrial areas.

STRONGLY OBJECT TO ALL EXPANSION. Do minimum or preferably no expansion.The increase in aircraft noise for us residents will become intolerable, emissions will increase. The road system cannot cope with current traffic levels. If 2m passenger movements are reached this will require about 4000 extra car journeys per day!!! Imagine the road upgrading work for the next few years that would be required. This area has a high percentage of elderly people who hardly fly. Who will the expansion benefit, people flying from outside the region and the business people and major shareholders who will make millions of pounds.

Surely it is not possible to expand Southend Airport without causing even more noise to residents under the flight paths than was suffered during previous busy years. Apart from many other considerations, its position, on a very small site, ought to rule out the proposed extension.

On the basis that provision for compensation to local residents will need to be made by the Council for the expected negative impact on local property prices that will result from airport expansion and that the anticipated costs for this will fall on local council tax payers.

i cannot see how you can have a 'quiet' airport.
there is a significant amount of residential property surrounding the airport.
i dont believe the plans are sufficient to improve or cope with additional traffic/public transport demand

The Preferered Options consultation fails to address the impacts upon the cultural heritage and historic environment of the proposed enlargment of the airport and runway.
LONDON SOUTHEND AIRPORT & ENVIRONS JAAP DEVELOPMENT PLAN DOCUMENT: PREFERRED OPTIONS
As with the recommendations made in 2008 for the Issues and Options consultation, the present document (Preferred Options) makes no mention of cultural heritage/historic environment issues and impacts and this should be addressed. The Rochford Historic Environment Characteristion (HEC) document commissioned by Rochford District Council provides an overall assessment of the District's historic environment including the study area for the JAAP Development plan and its relevance should be highlighted at this stage.
The HEC document was produced in order to provide planners with an overview of the historic environment for the LDF process and to be used at an early stage for identifying the possible choice of development sites, impact of potential development and the need for informed conservation, enhancement and mitigation. Within the Rochford HEC the relevant Historic Environment Character Zones (HECZ) are 17,18 and 22. The scoring table provided in the report and GIS project for each zone provides an assessment of seven specific criteria, diversity, survival, documentation, potential, group value association, sensitivity to change and amenity value.
The area outlined within the document is one which although partially disturbed through construction of the airport, golf course, quarrying and modern industrial buildings retains a significant archaeological and more general historic environment potential. In addition to specific known sites such as the medieval church of St. Lawrence and All Saints and a post-medieval brickworks and associated housing along Cherry Orchard Way, there are further finds, particularly in the west of the site whch indicate prehistoric activity, evidence of which is likely to survive. The airfield was established by the RFC during WWI and was later requisitioned to become RAF Rochford, part of Fighter Command during WWII. The airfield was heavily defended and the study area contains a large number of extant features relating to the security of the airfield.
It is important that the cultural heritage potential of the study area is taken into account at this early stage in order to ensure that opportunities for pro-active management and enhancement of the historic environment are considered at all stages of the development plan.
None of the comments given as response to the questions in our document dated 23/06/08 have been addressed in the Preferred Options consultation. The Cultural Heritage is a major omission in this document, with the proposals for the future of the most obvious Historic Environment assets, such as the Grade I Church of St Lawrence and All Saints, not addressed.

The panned expansion is not about creating a few new jobs or developing the area. It is about hard cash. The airport is owned by Stobart. The bottom line is more freight into the airport 24hrs a day then clog our streets with Stobart lorries. This is good for Stobart shareholders (who i bet are not local) but not for all of the home owners surounding the airport. Watch the value of your homes plummet and your quality of life decline.
This world is going mad. Stop being greedy and enjoy what you have - while you still have it.

There has been a series of accidents recently when aircraft have failed on take off or landing, fortunately they crashed into open land, if this happened at Southend they would crash into densely populated areas with horrendous results.
This is not the area for airport expansion.

The road and rail links will have to be upgraded to support the extra 2 million passengers flocking to the region. The roads and rail cannot cope now which the Council refuse to address so how on earth do they expect to expand the A127 / A13 and provide extra seating for those who are already forced to stand on a train commute to and from London.

This is all about money. Stobart would not have spent so much if they thought that they may not be successful. Why are they so confident of success? There will be no financial benefit to the residents in the wards surrounding the airport. I wonder if the same can be said of the officials and councillors dealing with the expansion. If this expansion goes ahead everyone affected should withhold a portion of their concil tax to reflect the fall in the value of their properties, which will surely be the result of the increased airport activity.

Its all been talked about before without any progress being made for years
In the local and surrounding areas there is no call for the occassional, local and European passenger flights.They along with greater London passengers are already well served by Gatwick. Luton, Stanstead and indeed City airport.
Most holiday passengers now prefer and require long hall flights to much more exotic places than the UK and Europe
There are many retired and older people that live in bungelows in the flight path areas that will be affected by the flights constantly taking off and landing.
All of our local residents are extremely concerned

I fully support the airport expansion and development. It needs to happen sooner rather than later so the airport is fully operational for the London olympics in 2012. The number of jobs that will be created by the airport and the business park is greatly needed. It will be a huge opportunity missed if the council do not go ahead with the preferred options.
