London Southend Airport and Environs Joint Area Action Plan Preferred Options
Representation ID: 12735
Received: 15/05/2009
Respondent: George Crozer
object to the proposed expansion plans due to the contribution it will make to climate change and the impacts this will have on biodiversity
As the UK is committed to a reduction in greenhouse gas emmissions I do not
see how any development of the airport in the JAAP can possibly be mitigated. Aviation is the fastest growing sector in terms of UK emissions,
and the European Commission points out if current growth continues emissions from international flights from EU airports will have grown by
150% from 1990-2012.
National, regional and local government need to act to prevent damaging
climate change.
