Core Strategy Submission Document

Representation ID: 15928

Received: 25/10/2009

Respondent: mr Julian Nichols

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

The development of Southend Airport is unsound on environmental grounds. Our Councils should be looking to reduce air and noise pollution, not increasing it.
The Councils have made responding to this very difficult, including the terminology use "Legally compliant or sound" - what do such terms mean to the man in the street? The paper documents are not available in Leigh locations, which will be heavily effected by the increased flights.
The Councils have not adequately consulted with the community affected by the proposal.
What the Stobbards gain from this, the community will pay the price for.
