London Southend Airport and Environs Joint Area Action Plan Preferred Options
Representation ID: 10812
Received: 09/05/2009
Respondent: Leigh Town Council
We oppose the runway extension, which would make the airport more attractive to airline operators, and we do not believe the assertion about quieter aircraft. No evidence has been given to show comparative noise levels of current and likely future aircraft using the airport.
Passenger levels should only increase with organic growth based on the current runway. The proposal for 2million ppa is excessive for an airport bof this size with the proposed infrastructure, particularly roads. Te increase in noise and pollution to residents will be unacceptable.
