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

Representation ID: 1921

Received: 06/08/2008

Respondent: Essex Chambers of Commerce

Representation Summary:

The greatest potential impact of the development of the JAAP is likely to be the increase in traffic generation in the wider area.This will be due to increases in leisure users spread throughout the day, but more significantly will be the growth in traffic flows generated by increased numbers of employees working at the airport and the expanded business park and travelling at peak times.Mitigation would be a strategic review of the highway infrastructure in South East Essex that results in significant physical improvements.
