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

Representation ID: 1878

Received: 06/08/2008

Respondent: London Southend Airport

Representation Summary:

In assessing the strategic fit against the objective of maximising the economic benefits of a thriving airport and related activity, the low probability of achieving the passenger forecasts and the limited number of airport-related jobs would suggest that this could be only a low strategic fit.

On the other hand, when assessing this scenario against the objective of ensuring appropriate improvements in sustainable transport accessibility and facilities, there would need to be much greater provision of public transport, cycling, walking or travel planning to the increased employment areas to achieve a high strategic fit.
