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

Representation ID: 2007

Received: 07/08/2008

Respondent: Tabor Farms Ltd

Agent: Whirledge & Nott

Representation Summary:

We strongly agree with the proposed area for change particularly area ix. The land east of the railway line is poor amenity value land and does not offer any strategic benefit in terms of Green Belt objectives. Such land should be included within the airport development boundary and be removed from the Green Belt. Given the proximity of this land to the railway and airport terminal it would be sensible to be used for transport/interchange development or industrial use. We would not wish to see this retained as open space as it has poor amenity value.
