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

Representation ID: 2201

Received: 08/08/2008

Respondent: Essex County Council Public Rights of Way

Representation Summary:

Public Footpath 36 Rochford runs from Aviation Way eastwards across the airport taxiway and continues to link up with the network on Rochford Hundred Golf Course. The Definitive line of this path has not been affected by any legal diversion or extinguishment orders to date and therefore remains available for public use. ECC observation and feedback suggests it is actually well used. Any proposals to alter the alignment should take into account its importance as a sustainable link to Rochford and its amenity and biodiversity value, and consider improvement to accessibility and highway status (such as upgrade to bridleway).
