London Southend Airport & Environs Joint Area Action Plan Issues & Options Paper
Representation ID: 1932
Received: 06/08/2008
Respondent: SE Essex Organic Gardeners
It is entirely inappropriate for Southend Airport to model itself on the airport in
Southampton. Southampton is served by motorways from the north, west and east and the
airport is adjacent to one of these. Southend already has congestion problems and
certainly does not have the road infrastructure to cope with the 1 million passengers a year
going to and from the airport that Southend Airport would like to see by 2012, never mind
the 2 million they want by 2030.
Arable land, Green Belt (wherever it is), orchards and allotment land should never be used.
