London Southend Airport and Environs Joint Area Action Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 10753

Received: 08/05/2009

Respondent: The Len Forge Centre

Representation Summary:

The area intended for this small business park is a potential gateway to Southend and Rochford and would be rendered visually unattractive by any commercial development no matter how well sculptured it may be initially.
Development of the site will also represent a loss of green space - albeit agricultural at present.
The Len Forge Centre has plans to absorb this area into its playing fields as an additional amenity for the sporting community of Southend - specifically ladies and youth football.
A sport related development would be much better than any industrial use.
