London Southend Airport and Environs Joint Area Action Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 10551

Received: 11/05/2009

Respondent: Renaissance Southend

Representation Summary:

The Southend Regeneration Framework identified Southend Town Centre and the Airport as the two key locations for employment growth. The level of employment growth needed goes beyond the direct job creation from expanding the operational side of the Airport. It will require not just land to support the consolidation and expansion of the Maintenance Repair & Overhaul but also the allocation of additional land to meet the job targets and to create a high quality business park offer that helps retain and attract investment and business. Such an offer is currently not available within the urban area of Southend
