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

Representation ID: 2227

Received: 08/08/2008

Respondent: George Crozer

Representation Summary:

We are not obliged to cater for the predicted demand for air travel. The sector makes a disproportionate contribution to climate change and should be included in targets for cutting emissions
There should not be an assumption that there is a requirement to develop the airport at all
Options 1, 11 and 111 will undoubtedly act as drivers for increased CO2 emissions at a time when
national, regional and local government should be acting to prevent damaging climate change.
