London Southend Airport & Environs Joint Area Action Plan Issues & Options Paper
Representation ID: 1574
Received: 30/07/2008
Respondent: Renaissance Southend
In order to realise the future potential of the airport and to deliver employment growth in South Essex sub-region to 2021, expansion of the airport and aviation related industrial/business growth need to be planned. Present boundary of airport/employment area is very restricted and gives only limited opportunity for increase in passenger throughput. Potential expansion of businesses in adjoining employment area is restricted and businesses wishing expand are unable to do so. Future review of the Green Belt should exclude the Airport operational land and areas to the north-west of airport identified for expansion of employment areas in the JAAP.
In order to realise the future potential of the airport and to deliver the employment growth in the South Essex sub-region to 2021, the expansion of the airport and the aviation related industrial/business growth need to be planned. The present boundary of the airport and the employment area is very restricted and gives only a limited opportunity for expansion that will allow airport for increase passenger throughput. Similarly, the potential expansion of the business in the adjoining employment area is restricted and those businesses wishing expand are unable to do so. The future review of the Green Belt should exclude the Airport operational land and the area to the north-west of the airport identified for the expansion of the employment area in the JAAP.
