Representation ID: 1845

Received: 06/08/2008

Respondent: London Southend Airport

Representation Summary:

The full submission suggests corrections to the description of the airport in this section.

Full text:

The third paragraph gives 2006 data which can now be updated to 2007, when there were 40,000 aircraft movements and 49,000 passengers.

There could be a reference to the Airport Master Plan and its status as a non statutory document prepared in accordance with Government guidance following the White Paper which is to be taken account of in LDF processes.

Figure 2.2 is similar to the Airport Master Plan Block Land Use Plan, but there are a few differences. As with Figure 2.1, the airport boundary does not include the 4 acre and 10 acre fields, although it does include the RESA/ILS area and the land east of the railway. All of these areas are designated for airport use in the Master Plan. The Key should show that the yellow area is RESA and ILS and should be designated in the pink colour the same as the runway. It is not clear what the 'bund' is in the key. Finally, the southern MRO area should extend into the whole of the white area to its north, and should not be titled terminal and apron, the latter being to the east in the blue area The Block Land Use Plan from the Airport Master Plan will be submitted separately.
