London Southend Airport and Environs Joint Area Action Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 12038

Received: 13/05/2009

Respondent: West Rochford Action Group

Representation Summary:

Strongly object to the airport expansion which will undoubtedly have an adverse effect on a wide residential area. Whilst it may be the aim to be primarily a passenger airport so far there is no decisive evidence that the airlines are prepared to commit to the airport. The reality is that it will be largely used for cargo particularly as freight is the new owner's prime business and this will result in disturbance at night.
