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

Representation ID: 2096

Received: 07/08/2008

Respondent: Mr Jon Fuller

Representation Summary:

The JAPP does not provide a long term analysis of the economic effects of aviation expansion (an economic model based upon rapid expansion of CO2 emissions). Rapid climate change and sea level rise will lead to the loss of thousands of Essex homes, loss of agricultural land and the loss of the CtoC rail link by 2100. This economic model will cause severe economic damage from around 2030 onwards.
