London Southend Airport & Environs Joint Area Action Plan Issues & Options Paper

Representation ID: 1425

Received: 25/07/2008

Respondent: Go-East

Representation Summary:

We would suggest that the JAAP should perhaps not be putting forward any options or scenarios, especially those relating to the expansion of the airport, that may be wholly unrealistic given the environmental constraints that exist in respect of the land within the plan boundaries and indeed beyond these. As the JAAP document also states, the East of England Plan recognises the important role Southend Airport plays at the Regional level and that this is primarily in meeting local needs and niche markets.
